Since the coniuieiiceinent of the present Publication, and of
the former series of similar papers entitled Collectanea Toro-
(JRAPIIICA ET Genealogica, a change has come over the form
of literature of this description, whicii on the whole must be
regarded with regret. For the first time within more than living
\j memory, there is no work of English County History now
^ actually in progress. Many of our best Topographers have
? terminated their mortal career, some of them leaving their works
Vv,A unfinished : and it would seem as if the very abundance of
material, provided by the publication of some of our national
records and the freedom of access to others, had overwhelmed our
historical ardour and deterred us from any new undertaking of
the kind. It is true that the topographical history of un entire
county is a colossal task, and almost too great for any single
hand. The age of ponderous and costly folios is also passed
away : but that need not prevent the production of portable and
useful quartos.
Whilst, however, the magnificent County History is a literary
product now perfectly in abeyance, we have recejitly witnessed
another vehicle of Topography and Genealogy which has been
prosecuted with considerable success. In the memoirs periodi-
cally published by some of the County Societies are combined
the researches of many intelligent labourers ; and in these collec-
tions will gradually be assembled a store of very useful materials
for future County Histories of a more systematic and complete

character. The Counties which have been most fortunate in
obtainiufT sucli receptacles of antiquarian lore are — especially
Sussex, Cheshire and Lancashire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Somerset-
shire, and (to a partial extent) Devonshire,
To other parts of the country The Topographer and Genealo-
gist still opens its pages for the like object. It has now been
determined to proceed with the printing and publication of a
Tliird Volume, in which any fugitive essays of this character will
receive a welcome reception and the iitmost editorial care : and it
is further intended that the work shall include such articles of
general application as will be acceptable to the genealogical in-
quirer in every part of the country.

To the Editor of the Topographer and Genealogist.
Sir,
Much has been said and written on the indigenous nobiUty
of character, and general superiority, of persons of blood and
birth. Playfair compiled liis stupendous Peei*age and Baronetage
to prove, that the great mass of all that is excellent springs
from the class usually denominated the ^* Aristocracy." And
he was undoubtedly right; provided his proposition be
viewed in a correct light. It is preposterous to suppose that
mere wealth can confer nobility of blood ; and, without quoting
any of our ancient authorities for definitions of " Nobleman "
and " Gentleman," it may suffice to state that none have ever
involved riches in its requisites. Though it is true, that opu-
lence may place families in the situation of matching with
superior houses, and thus " improving their breed ; " yet in itself
it can no more alter a man's nature, than a bequest of a million
would whiten a nefjro. Nothino; save an educated and well-
bred ancestry can engender that refinement and genius, which
constitute the essence of true aristocracism (by which I mean
to signify, intellectual superiority in its extended sense), and
without which, indeed, all other pretensions to superiority are
vague and empty. It would be quite as rational to style all our
farmers and tradesmen " aristocracy," as to consider bankers
and country 'squires such, merely because they are wealthy.

Many of both, indeed, but especially of the latter, are intellec-
tually not two removes from the labourers upon their estates.
Possibly they are fully worthy of the Norman ancestor from
whom they chiim descent: — but what is there in that? The day
is passed when rapacity and shedding blood were esteemed the
most noble properties : and though such doctrines hold in every
nation in a semi-barbarous state, now, every one, who truly
comprehends the respective claims and merits of the different
descriptions of genealogies, would much rather boast a descent
from a house of Generosi than from the most renowned of
Armigeri ; and it is very well known, that, while military knights
were probably able neither to read or write, a Knight of the
Carpet might be a man of education. For my part, I would
rather descend from a Baron's jester, or from his chaplain's
bastard, than from the Baron himself.
The reason, however, that the great mass of talent has ema-
nated, of late centuries, from the "Aristocracy," in the usual
acceptation of that word, is unquestionably because, by the long
superior education and breeding of that class, they have become
a superior race of persons. Truly they may retrograde; and,
according to physiologists, retrogradation invariably takes place
after perfection is once attained, (if indeed an absolute annihila-
tion of the race does not occur,) and this in both the animal and
vegetable creation : but it is long before this perfection is at-
tained. That certain marriages, however, produce certain re-
sults in the issue, no one can or will doubt, who has paid any
attention to the subject ; ^ and if an instance were required to
prove its truth, let " Lord Brougham" be referred to, as a double
illustration : first, in him are concentrated the talents of several
gifted individuals, both paternally and maternally ; secondly, it
would appear, the " perfection," of which physiologists speak,
has been attained in him ; and that his posterity, if any, will
retrograde.
Nor does the descent of properties pertain solely to the mind.
We hear of a certain cast of countenance and feature being
assigned to the Stuarts, the Bourbons, the Caesars, &c. ; and
undoubtedly the same might be said of a family of lesser note.
» The works of Mr. Alexander Walker may be advantageously perused upon this
subject.
GENEALOGY PHYSICALLY CONSIDERED. 3
Mrs. Trollope tells us, tiiat the Willoughbys are a house re-
markable for the regulaiity of their features; ^^ and I myself
could adduce several other fiimilies, of whom like remarks may
be made. And as to the preservation of family likenesses, there
are instances almost incredible. I know of individuals, not
nearer relations than sixth cousins, between whom an extra-
ordinary resemblance prevails. Doubtless in many old county
families the long preservation of a similar cast of features, and
countenance, may be attributed to the matches, generation after
generation, into the same families, or into families who inherit
much the same blood : e. g. in Staifordshire and the adjacent
district, it would be difficult to say how often such families as
the Kynnersleys, Adderleys, Sneyds, and Hortons have con-
nected themselves, directly, or through the medium of other
houses : and thus a family marrying its own kindred, generation
after generation, how is it wonderful that it should remain the
same, and retain much the same properties ? Indeed, whenever
a striking dissimilarity exists between parent and child, the
father being certain, it will always be found that the mother
derives from a very different race (or perhaps nation) from her
husband. That, however, such cross matches greatly improve
the race, is well known to agriculturists, and that the long
" breeding in and in" produces effects equally detrimental. Of
the latter, indeed, I could adduce a frightful instance in a very
noble family. And while touching on this point, I may suggest,
that it is probably to the very cross " alliance " which usually
occurs between the parents of bastards, where one of the two is
a person of birth, breeding, and talent, that we are to attribute
the eminence that several persons born out of wedlock have
attained : for, inheriting the genius consequent on a long course /
of education and refinement of the progenitors of one parent,
strengthened and refreshed by a cross blood from the other, such
illegitimate persons, thrown upon their own resources for their
worldly fame and success, soon prove, when the high and noble,
the intellectual and refined properties, deposited in them from
their progenitors, are stimulated to exertion, by necessity or
otherwise, how highly they are entitled to, and how completely
they do, tower above the vulgar herd, and their plodding labours.

Mr. Samuel Warren may insinuate that tlie absence of a mar-
riage ceremonial can alter the results in the issue ; ^ but it is
contrary to fact, and preposterous to a reasonable mind. In-
deed I would tell him, that tlie loophole of illegitimacy is, in
1 the majority of cases, the only mode of accounting for superior
qualities in persons of lowly station. Truly there is hardly an
English family now extant which is not, more or less, mongrel:
an evil which is inseparable from a commercial nation. Still,
view the question of die " heritability of properties " in what
light one will, it resolves itself into assigning the " aristocracy"
(in the ordinary meaning of the word) the great mass of talent.
Genius or natural ability must have an origin, and that origin
must rest in the parents or more remote progenitors of its pos-
sessor. And allowing that occasionally persons of lowly birth
have attained eminence, (though I should much like to inves-
tigate their real and not reputed origin, and the conjugal fidelity
of their maternal progenitors,) their properties have almost
always been merged in and amalgamated with the aristocracy's,
by the matches of their children. Not that I have any desire to
overturn the principle, that a family may, by a long superior
course of breeding, station, and education alone be improved ;
for it is only in accordance with the general maxim of the muta-
bility of every thing.
Mrs. Gore, contrary to Mrs. Trollope, may fly into opposite
extremes, and insinuate that a very short time passed in the
society of superior persons, " copying their manners," &c. is
sufficient to level all differences, and to qualify the most indi-
genous blackguard for ranking himself with patricians; and, as
far as external observances extend, Mrs. Gore may be right :
indeed, a perusal and digestion of one of the numerous editions
of " Hints on Etiquette," would answer the same ends. But to
assert that such a course can confer the mind of a gentleman ;
and that there is no class indigenously superior; no class in
whom that " sensitive refinement," which is the distinctive mark
of true gentility ; that sensitive refinement, which stands so far
above, so far aloof from, and is so entirely beyond tlie compre-
hension and appreciation of persons engaged in trade and busi-
ness, or at least those who devote their whole life to the accumu-
lation of wealth and worldly influence, is equally false and
'■ " Ten Tliousand a Year."
GENEALOGY PHYSICALLY CONSIDERED. 5
preposterous. It is, indeed, this trading, utilitarian, and
mercenary, or, in one word, which will combine much, this
truly " American " body, w'ho are the class to found their
"gentility" on the study of " Hints on Etiquette," &.c. But
the mi7id of a gentleman is never theirs. It is the invariable
concomitant, and the accompaniment only, of genius and refine-
ment; and it has as little concern with wealth as with trade and
business. ^
That there are, however, many sceptics upon my propositions
there can be no doubt : and to those who have only a super-
ficial and general acquaintance with genealogy, it is by no means
wonderful that specimens, apparently contradictory, should occa-
sionally present themselves. But the great error, in all these
matters, arises from placing a higher credit to paternal descents,
and deeming such as of greater consequence than they are en-
titled to. In Germany no one is considered a gentleman, till
lie can prove his sixteen great-gi-eat-grand-parents were all of
noble blood. And this is undoubtedly infinitely more rational
than the modern system of ratino* genealogies in England. I
say " modern," because the English system was formerly the
same as the continental : for in the edition of Bailey's Dic-
tionary of 1728, we find the word " Gentleman" thus defined.
And it is needless to tell you, that, til! Johnson's appeared,
Bailey's Dictionary had the first reputation, (though the defini-
tions of our old lawyers on the subject were as contradictory and
unsatisfactory, as they were indefinite and incomprehensible) : but
this system is unquestionably the most correct and satisfactory,
for it presents, at once, the great mass of the blood of which the
claimant is most probably composed ; or at least displays the
most important, and all his nearest, progenitors. A modern
English pedigree is nothing more than a cloak for the real blood
of its representatives ; it details nothing save a mere male line
of progenitors, the ancestors in tail male ; and, though it ascend
to remote antiquity, what is there in that? Antiquity of fomily
is an absurd boast, (patej'nal descents considered solely are
alluded to ;) for a man now living does not possess— admitting
his pedigree to be proved— in his whole frame one 1,0 18, 51 6th

the above, and similar sentiments and opinions.

of his blood, that of a lineal ancestor, of his own name, living in
the time of Richard I. ; unless, indeed, he perchance descends
from him through other than his paternal channel of pedigree ;
and in calling such a man his ancestor, there would be as mucli
reason as in acknowledging 274,877,906,944 collateral kindred :
, in short, persons who boast the antiquity of their family had
better place Adam at the top of their pedigrees, and claim re-
lationship with the whole world. For though this will sound
marvellous to those unconversant with the subject, it is a mere
point of arithmetic, and foUov.s as naturally as upon a man's
acknowledging brothers and sisters because they proceed from a
conmion parent with him. This may illucidate the absurdity of
English genealogical rights, as they are now usually supposed
to be held. It is nonsense: a man's nearest progenitors are his
most important : and seven generations of good blood, imme-
diately preceding him, are worth all the more remote preten-
sions ; especially if the latter are to be only reached through a
chain of inferior persons.
But paternal pedigrees, considered solely, are altogether ab-
surd and delusive, and that in every respect. If not of higher
importance, the maternal descent of mother and daughter, or
what our lawyers would call the " tail-female" line, is certainly
of equal consequence.
I shall now give some cogent reasons for this ; and then pro-
ceed to record, with your permission, in the pages of the Topo-
grapher and Genealogist, seven generations of a pedigree of
this description, both to illustrate my proposition, and to pre-
serve its subject matter henceforth.
r First. Under the law of nature, the offspring follow the mo-
ther, not the father. Partus sequitur ventretn. Their assigna-
tion to the father is an ordinance of man, (and perhaps, indeed,
merely of the Law,) not of God.
Secondly. In the majority of cases, the husband after mar-
riage cleaves to his wife, and her connexions, rather than his
own. 'I he wife, moreover, usually gives the station and social
/ connexion ; and it is almost a proverb, that her relations and
friends are always found in her husband's house, rather than are
his own.
Thirdly. Though the father of the children can never be
I regarded as a matter of absolute certainty, being never known
GENEALOGY PHYSICALLY CONSIDERED. 7
save to the mother, the mother is and must always be a matter '
of notoriety, and most unquestionable in every respect.
Fourthly. According to physiologists, the issue inherit more [^< ,,■
properties from the mother than the father : which alone shows
how absurd it is to estimate the paternal pedigree as the most
important.
Fifthly. In addition to the last reason, it is well known that
the issue receive their early " education " from their mother
in almost every case ; while they seldom imbibe any properties
whatever from their father, through that medium, at least.
Sixthly. From the second and fifth reasons, it follows, that
the issue are usually associated with their maternal connexions
rather than their paternal, and consequently imbibe their pro-
perties proportionately.
Seventhly, and lastly. The fallacy of founding genealogical
pretensions on the mere paternal line, cannot be more completely
illustrated than by the consequence which naturally follows ^ • .
thereupon ; viz. that it renders it impossible for a plebeian ^ '^ '^
family to become patrician : for the inale line never alters, at least -^'"6
ostensibly; and the only genealogical alteration, which can take ^ ^^ '
place, must result from its marriages.) and the fresh supplies of it ,'./■-•
blood, which it receives from other families through its wives and
mothers. Thus the same set of fomilies may remain aristocratic, li^', •
SO long as they last ; yet as soon as tliey expire, their places are*-)/. <
not to be supplied, but aristocracy itself disappears ! This is ,
ridiculous enough ; and at once abstracts from paternal pedi-
grees the very foundations on which they rest their pretensions
to consideration. No : a pedigree is and must be made up of
the matches between different families. Take away its matches
into other houses, and, if it does not cease to deserve the name
of a pedigree, it loses all its value, at any rate. Thus that
pedigree, or line of ancestry, which developes the descendants'
blood most perfectly is the most important; and none can do
this more completely than a tail female, or a mother and daugh-
ter descent. For the name and family changes every generation ;
and, though I admit that it enters no greater number of families
than a paternal pedigree would, yet it passes through what it does
enter ; and, instead of drawing one female out of the new family
touched upon, it discusses it at length, and gives a whole gene-
ration ; thus exhibiting much more honestly and fully the real
8 PEDIGREE, &C.
pedigree of the existing descendiints, than any other system of
genealogy could do. I can only add, that, after long obser-
vation on the subject, my certain conviction is the series of pro-
positions contaiiied in this letter. Undoubtedly, we may, and
constantly do, find several brothers and sisters very different
from, and unlike each other ; but this is no argument against
what I have written. I do not pretend to lay down the pro-
portions in which persons inherit from their several procreating
ancestors : but I do maintain that in one or other of our pro-
genitors all our properties will be found to exist, provided we
have the means of ascertaining what their properties were. It
is well known to Physiologists that no child ever took entirely,
and solely, after one parent ; though I have already stated the
mother is generally supposed to give the greater share. It is
also notorious that where one certain line of properties are de-
rived from the father's family, another set assuredly come from
the mother's. Walker has given minute information on the
rules which guide the transmission of properties from the respec-
tive parents; which, however, it is unnecessary to enter upon
here. I am fully aware that one child may be more like its
mother than its grandfather, while another is an opposite illus-
tration. But there can be no doubt that in one or other pro-
genitor the properties of all will be found.
I will now proceed to the tail-female pedigree that I have pro-
posed.

° Edward D'Oyly, Esq., it must not, however, be concealed, was born under
circumstances so singular and extraordinary, that, though little immorality can at-
tach, it is extremely doubtful Avhether he and his posterity could inherit the Baro-
netcy. His connection with the Baronets was thus : At least, it is acknowledged
on both sides that he was the nearest male D'Oyly, cousin to Sir John : and thus
it has always been detailed by the family ; while there is no reason to doubt its
truth.
Thomas D'Oyly, of Gray's Inn, attorney at law and solicitor, youngest son of
Hadley D'Oyly, of Castle-yard, Holborn, London, solicitor, by Elizabeth Yalloppe
his wife, and next brother of the Rev. Sir Hadley D'Oyly, Bart. A.M. (who, from
a poor clergyman, became a Baronet on the decease of his cousin, Sir Edmund
D'Oyly, in 1763, and died the following year,) married Jane, daughter of Richard
Walker, Esq. of Petworth, in Sussex, and died in 17(^1, before the family honours
devolved on his elder brother Hadley ; having had issue, by his said wife, four sons,
and as many daughters :
I, Edward D'Oyly, of whom presently.
II. John D'Oyly. III. Thomas D'Oyly. Both of whom died s. p. or un-
married, before 1770.
IV. Hadley D'Oyly, who died young.
I. Elizabeth D'Oyly, living unmarried 1768. She is believed to have em-
barked for India, but to have been lost at sea.
II. Jane D'Oyly, who died an infant,
III. Mary D'Oyly, who died s, p. before 1768.
IV. Jane D'Oyly, second so christened, who is believed to have accompanied
her sister to India, and to have shared her fate.
Edward D'Oy'ly, only surviving son, entered the East India Company's Mer-
chants' service; and was sometime Purser of an East Indiaman. This gentleman,
however, in the spring of 1767, was paying his addresses to one Anna Maria Blacky
the daughter and at last heiress of Jonathan Black, of Westminster, gent, a i-ich
brewer in the metropolis, (by Elizabeth his wife, daughter, and at last sole heiress,
of George Burnell, Esq. of Lofthouse, near Wakefield, in Yorkshire,) and, un-
known to her parents, succeeded in inducing her to elope with him, and was mar-
ried to her at Gretna Green. They returned, hoping for the usual forgiveness ; but,
instead of this, her rich, purse-proud parents tore her from him, and forced her
home, permitting no intercourse ; he soon after sailed for India, and deter-
mined, it would seem, to take no further trouble about the matter. But her parents
had soon cause to repent their rashness : their daughter had proved pregnant ; and
Mr. D'Oyly was now beyond recall for a legal marriage to be solemnized before the
birth of his child. Every attempt, however, was made to apprise him of the state
of affairs; and though he, poor young man, made every haste to return, he only
arrived in England Sept. 1768. But his child was born in the preceding March or
April. Nevertheless, he was, immediately after his return, legally married to Miss
Black ; viz. on the 5th Oct. 1768, by licence granted the preceding day at the
Vicar General's Office, Doctors' Commons : for privacy sake, the marriage was
solemnized at St. Mary's Magdalen, Bermondsey, Surrey ; and the whole was pre-
served a profound secret. His child so born, and christened after himself, was

verging on twenty-one when that event occurred, he came down
to Yorkshire to his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Black, of Loft-
house, who by the death, s, p. of her brothers, James Burnell,
Esq. of Lofthouse, (who had greatly increased the wealth of his
family by the profession of solicitor, having practised from an-
terior to r/29 till his death in 1780,) and William Burnell, Esq.
of Newton Lodge, near Wakefield, had succeeded to all the
property of her family, while he Edward D^Oyly, her grandson,
had already acquired that of the Blacks from his mother, who
had become sole heiress of her only brother Jonathan Black,
Esq. Barrister at Law, and of her sister Frances Black, who
died unmarried. Thus, when at Lofthouse, Mr. D'Oyly be-
came acquainted with Hannah Marston, then resident with
her aunt Procter, of Thorpe on the Hill in the same parish
(Roth well) ; to whom he was married, after a very short ac-
quaintance, as already mentioned, and he then became seated
at Newton Lodge, the residence of his grand-uncle, William
Burnell ; where he remained till the decease, in 1T95, of his
grandmother, Mrs. Black, who leaving him all her property,
he was admitted to the copyholds held of the manor of Wake-
field, as her grandson and heir at law, 20 March 1795 ; and he
then began the world with a property of 4,000/. to 5,000/. per
Edward D'Oyly, Esq. mentioned in the text. Edward D'Oyly, sen. made his will
4th Feb. 1769, leaving all the little property he had, to his wife, sailed for India not
long after, and died at Beucoolen, in Sumatra. Anna Maria, his wife, survived
him many years, and lived for some time in Marylebone, but latterly, and princi-
pally, in Palace-yard, Westminster. She made her will, 11 Oct. 1783, leaving all
her property to her only son the said Edward D'Oyly, and appointing him sole
executor. She died at her residence in Palace-yard, Westminster, 10th July 1788,
of a cancer ; and her son being not quite of age, he proved her will in no court,
but being principally a devise of lands, it was registered 31 Oct. 1783, at the Wake-
field Registry for instruments affecting real property in the West Riding, Book
C. Y. page 354, No. 449. By her Edward D'Oyly, sen., whose death occurred
about 1770, but was not heard of in England before Feb. 1772, had only the said
I. Edward D'Oyly : the singular circumstances of whose nativity were such
as to have always been kept a family secret ; and he appears on the court roll of
the manor of Wakefield as " heir at law." Still it is presumed that his legiti-
macy, though unquestionable in Scotland, is doubtful in England. However, on
the return to England of his cousin. Sir J. H. D'Oyly, after the long separation

annum, principally consisting of real estates at Rothwell, Wake-
field, Lofthouse, and Stanley, in the West Riding ; all " Bur-
nell " property, they being a respectable old family, who had
been settled at Lofthouse and Rothwell from the year 1570,
claimed descent from those in Notts, bore their arms, and were
among the claimants for their estates after the death of D'Arcy
Burnell, Esq. in 177- : while the Blacks claimed from Black of
Temple, in Scotland. For some time after this, Mr. D'Oyly
resided at Adwick Hall (Adwick le Street), in Yorkshire: and
in June 1797 made a settlement on his wife and children, his
brother-in-law the Rev. Henry Caye Adams being a trustee
therein. On the 17th May 1799, Mr. D'Oyly contracted for
the purchase, of Metcalfe Graham Steele, Esq. of the manor of
Kirby Wiske, near Thirsk, in the North Riding, the manor of
" Sion Hill," or " Kirby Lodge," and an estate at Bracken-
burgh, for 1 1,500/., which was absolutely conveyed to him in
1801. Here Mr. D'Oyly then settled, and greatly improved
and beautified that estate, and mansion : he became a magistrate
for the North Riding, and lived for long, highly popular in the
district. He built Scipton bridge, near Topcliffe, entirely at his
own expense, and was quite celebrated for his munificence, pub-
lic spirit, and liberahty. Both he and his wife were very chari-
table to the poor, and most estimable persons in every respect;
while they held the first rank amongst the North Riding aristo-
cracy ; and Sion Hill was celebrated for its hospitality. Few
could discharge their duty as a magistrate better than Mr.
D'Oyly : while the constant employment which he afforded to
labourers and work-people, caused him to be liked by that class.
Both Mr. and Mrs. D'Oyly were persons of great scientific capa-
city. Mr. D'Oyly was a most beautiful draftsman, an ingenious
mechanic, and possessed of great taste for music. Lie was also
a great wit ; and, though perfectly free from every vice, a most
convivial, though extremely gentlemanly man : his mind and man-
ners being equally refined. He was always sincere, yet most kind :
and while adhering to the forms and ceremonies of good breed-
ing, no one could ever doubt but that the sentiment was there.
Mrs. D'Oyly, though extremely rigid in her religious obser-
vances, was less popular than her husband. She was a proud
and aristocratic gentlewoman; who, while her husband was fond
of society, preferred a strict though most refined seclusion from
PEDIGREE, &C. 2i
the world. Siie was, moreover, more satirical than witt}', more
proud than vail) : but she passed almost her whole life in the
bosom of her family, devoting herself to her children and the
pursuits to which her taste led her; and of these, botany was
one of the most prominent. She was a woman, however, of no
ordinary scientific capacity, having been presented with divers
medals by learned societies ; and two, which she received from
the " Society for promoting and encouraging the Arts and
Sciences," are possessed by the writer of this article.

Agnes Anne Berington, liis wife, daughter of Captain George

tess of Kintore ; and the mother of which Agnes Anne Ber-
ington was Helen, sister of George Dempster, Esq. M.P. for
Forfar, in Scotland. The said Heiny Williams was the only
son who left issue, of Stephen Williams, Esq. of Russell

Robert Williams, Esq. of Moor Park, Herts, &c. M.P. and
High Sheriff for Dorsetshire, and uncle of Robert Williams,

lotte his wife, daughter of Sir Hadley D'Oyly, Bart, nurse to
the Princess Amelia, and ever after her bosom friend. And
which Williamses were immediately descended from the ancient
house of W^illiams, of Herringston, co. Dorset. ^ Captain
D'Oyly, who long resided in the usual East Indian splendour
at Dumdum, near Calcutta, and held several lucrative ap-
pointments, sent his two elder boys to his brother in law, Mr.
Bayley, 1828-9, to be brought up in England; and subse-
quently suffering from the heat of the climate, repaired with
his wife and younger sons to Sydney, in New South Wales,
for change of air. Hearing, however, that the Delhi Maga-
zine appointment had been conferred upon him, he hastened
to return to India : and lucklessly in his haste sailed with his
wife and younger children in the ill-fated ship " Charles

on a coral reef in Torres Straits, and the crew and passengers,

it not been for the exertions of Captain D'Oyly's brother in

highly desirable should be brought together. Beyond my own
labours in books, manuscripts, and records, wherever it was

AN ACCOUNT OF THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF CAMBRIDGE-
SHIRE, ESSEX, NORTHAftlPTONSHIRE, AND MIDDLESEX.
Of the patronymic of this ancient and truly respectable
family, no certain derivation can be given. The name, which
was, three centuries ago, written " Hodylowe," " Hoddelow,"
" HoudiJovv," " Hodelow," &.c. was undoubtedly foreign, and,
if the statement in the will of an early member of the family can
be relied on, or rather the inference from it, — " that the family
came from Holland,"— of course Dutch ; and that the Hodilows
settled in England in the reign of Henry VH. It must not,
however, be concealed that there was a family of " Hovvndes-
lowe," (sometimes softened to " Hodeslow,") resident in Eng-
land in the time of Edward IV. ; but again, every endeavour to
connect these persons with the family of which it is now intended
to treat, has been used, unsuccessfully.
Thomas a Hodilow, who must have been born before or
about 14-59 (38 Hen. VI.) founded the family; and is believed
to have been a Dutchman by birth. Whether he came to Eng-
land or not, is unknown ; yet, were he or were his sons the set-
tlers in this country, it seems probable that the family came over
with Henry VII. A.D. 1485. Sure it is that he married, and
this probably about 1480 ; though his wife's name is unrecorded ;
and had issue, three sons, who all resided in Cambridgeshire :
viz.
I. Robert Hodilow, of whom presently.
II. John Hodilow, of Histon, co. Cambridge, living 1520
(11 Hen. VIII.) who was progenitor of the Hodilows of Im-
pington, in that county ; whose history see post.
III. Peter Hodilow, who settled in the city of Ely, in Cam-
bridgeshire, and lived there temp. Hen. VIII. He made his
will (a very short one) on his death-bed, 4th Jan. 1546, leav-
ing all his estate to Margaret his wife, and appointing her
» Vincent commences his pedigree of the family with a Thomas Hodilow : but as
it is very incorrect, especially in baptismal names, and we have no corroborative
evidence of this point, it may be safer to call him '• — — Hodilow."

sole executrix. Proved in the Consistory Court of Ely. He
died s. p. Margaret his wife survived him, and, being of
Trinity parish Ely, made her will 21 Dec. 1551 ; desires
burial at Trinity church Ely, and makes a charitable bequest
thereto, as well as one to the poor of Ely, leaving to the
" poor man's chest in Trinity church." The residue of her
pi'operty she likewise leaves to the poor of Ely, and to the
repairs of the highways, at the discretion and oversight of one
John Levette ; whom she appoints sole executor. She died
s. p. ; and her will was soon after registered and proved in
Ely Consistory Court.
Robert Hodilow, eldest of the three sons, lived temp.
Hen. Vlir. at Chettisham, in Cambridgeshire, near the city of
Ely, and followed the vocation of agriculture ; owning an estate
at Chettisham, which he appears to have farmed himself.^ This
gentleman was married, before 1522, to a lady named Alice ;
but of what family is unrecorded. Being possessed of consider-
able property, he made his will, " hole of mind and memory,^'
January 1540-1. He desires burial at St. Mary's,'^ Ely, leaves
to Thomas, his son, his books, and " all his debts oiving to him
in Holland:" and all his lands and houses in Chettisham and
Ely, to Alice, his wife, for life (she keeping a widow), and, after
her death, to Thomas, his son. He leaves his debts in Cam-
bridge to his said wife Alice also ; and makes bequests to his
two brothers, and leaves to the four daughters of his brother
" that dvvelleth in Hyston," (John,) the amount of a debt owed
to him by their father. Testator also makes several bequests to
his servants (to one of them, Robert Gill, a cow) and others ; to
St. Mary's church at Ely, and to the poor of that city. He ap-
points Alice his wife and Thomas his son executors, and Ed-
mund Heynesworth supervisor. As in most wills of the period,
many of the bequests are of cattle. He appoints his wife and
son residuary legatees. He died soon after; and his will was
proved by the executors, 14 Dec. 1543, in the Consistory Court
of Ely. Alice his wife survived him ; made her will, " sick in
body," Dec. 1545, being of Ely, widow. She desires burial with-
in the Trinity church of Ely; leaves twelve bullocks on her
farm at Chettisham between her sons Edmund Heynesworth
*> Chettisham has now no parish registers so early as 1 600.

30 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
and Thomas Hoclilow; a mattrass to the above Robert Gill, her
servant, and brass-pots, pans, platters, one feather-bed, one mat-
trass, three pair of sheets and one coverlet to Jone Basset. To
the " Charnell," a small legacy ; and an altar cloth, surplice,
and two towels, to Trinity church, Ely. She appoints Edmund
Heynesworth executor, and residuary legatee, and Thomas Hodi-
low, her son, supervisor ; and speaks of herself and two children
having then each a separate establishment. She died soon
after, and her will was proved in the Consistory Court of Ely,
12 Feb. 1545-6. By her, Robert Hodilow had two children,
I. Thomas Hodilow, his heir.
II. Alice Hodilow, who was married before 1540 v. p. to one
Edmund Heynesworth (" Gules, a fret ermine.") And both
of them were alive in 1545.
Thomas Hodilow, of Chettisham and Ely, afterwards of
Cambridge, only son and heir, was born in or before 1522,
being of age 1543, though then unmarried. This gentleman
seems to have lived at Chettisham in 1545, but afterwards re-
moved to Cambridge, where he carried on a most extensive
brewing business, during the early part of Elizabeth's reign,
which vocation was at that time reputed one of high respecta-
bility ; t' and sure it is, that Thomas Hodilow maintained a most
sumptuous establishment in Castle End, Cambridge, during the
latter part of his life. He was twice married : first, to Joan, ^
daughter of John Dale, of Bury St. Edmund's, in Suffolk ; un-
doubtedly, however, a member of the Dale family of Essex and
Northamptonshire, which bore " Gules, on a mount vert a swan
argent, chained, collared, and membered or." By this lady, who
was living in 1555 (1st and 2nd Ph. & Mary), he had issue
three sons and six daughters, of all of whom presently. He
married, secondly, Mary, daughter of , supposed, how-
ever, to have been widow of Mr. Mellis, of Maldon, in Essex,
and mother of the wife of Joseph Hodilow, presently mentioned.
By her, however, he is not recorded to have had any issue. She
was his wife in 1585, and 1594. Thomas Hodilow made his
will, styling himself of Cambridge, brewer, Uth April, 36ih
^ Robert Cromwell, of Huntingdon, father of Oliver the Protector, and eon of
Sir Henry Cromwell, Knt., was a brewer at Huntingdon. Many other instances
might be adduced.

Eliz. (1594) ; and a prodigious will it is for that period, being
nearly one hundred folios in length. The testator's first and
great object was to provide amply for INIary his second wife,
leaving her lands, houses, rents, money, furniture, the most
costly plate, trinkets, and, in fact, articles of every description,
and without number. He states that he then dwelt in Castle
End, in the town of Cambridge, and clearly possessed a splendid
establishment. He speaks of lands he held by lease of Caius
College and Clare Hall, as well as divers houses of his own (free-
hold) in Cambridge ; amongst others, his house next the " Dol-
phin Inn," which he leaves to Mary his wife. He leaves pecu-
niary legacies to his children, and to certain of his grandchildren,
to the poor of Cambridge and die parishes of St. Mary and
Trinity at Ely, and to divers friends, servants, and dependents.

guardianship of his grandson, William Hodilow, with all his
estate, to Mary, his wife, and directs that no one interfere with her
in the management thereof. He appoints Thomas, his son,
executor, under certain restrictions ; which, if unattended to,
Mary, his (testator's) wife, was to be executrix ; and if she took
not the executorship upon her, his beloved son in law, Jeremy
Chace, was to be executor. He appoints his friend John Bettis,
LL.D. supervisor. Testator made an unimportant codicil 26tli
April, 37th Eliz. (1595), chiefly benefiting Mary, his second
wife, with a few legacies to friends ; and very soon after, " Tho-
mas Hodilow, the wealthy brewer of Cambridge," who from the
contents of his will appears to have been a curious old gentle-
man, died, having attained a fine old age, and outlived both
his eldest and youngest sons. Thomas, his second son, proved
his long will in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 22 Dec.
1595 ; and it may be remarked, that an abstract of it (though
a very concise one) is also to be met with in Harl. MS. 7030,
fol. 335, for it was also registered in the University Court of
Cambridge. By Joane Dale, Thomas Hodilow had issue,

32 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
I. Edmund Hodilow, his lieir apparent ; who, though
he predeceased his father, yet, as he was a gendenian of con-
sequence, and continued the family pedigree, sliall be treated
of at large hereafter.
II. 1'honias Hodilow, of London, citizen and Salter, after-
wards of Burton Latimer, in Northamptonshire, Esq. This
gentleman was living in 1585, 1586, and 1589; and in 1595
proved his father's will. In 1603 (1st Jac. I.) he had a Chan-
cery suit with John Davies a haberdasher of London ; {his
bill being filed 12 May 1603, Davies' answer sworn 24 May
1603, but the subject is unimportant;) but had retired from
business to reside at Burton Latimer, in Northamptonshire,
before 1615. Before 1595 he married Katharine, daughter
of Earle, of Boston, in Lincolnshire, Esq. relict of
Lodge. Earle of Boston bore, " Gules, an annulet or, between
three escallops argent, all within a bordure engrailed of the
last ; " and was a branch of the old house of Earle or Erie of
Dorsetshire, it seems; another branch of which was seated at
Craglethorpe in Lincolnshire, and Topsfield in Essex, and
after obtaining a new grant of arms in 1558, was raised to
the rank of Baronet in 1629, though now extinct. By Katha-
rine Earle, Thomas Hodilow had an only daughter and heiress,
I. Sarah Hodilow, who, before 1615, became the first wife
of that " great loyalist and true son of the Church," Dr. John
Owen, S.T.D., Lord Bishop of St. Asaph's, in Wales. This
" loyal prelate and modest man," says Fuller, " who would
not own the worth he had in himself," was eldest son of the
Rev. Owen Owen, " the worthy " and "grave" minister of
Burton Latimer, co. Northampton, and Archdeacon of
Anglesey, in Wales, by Jane, his second wife, the daughter of
Robert GriffiU), Esq. Constable of Carnarvon; and which
Owen Owen was uncle of Sir John Owen, of Clenneney, Knt.
Colonel in the Army, and Vice- Admiral of North Wales, to
whose memory there is a splendid monument in Penmorva
church, CO. Carnarvon, (see Burke's Commoners, vol. i, p.
84), and second son of Owen ap Robert, of Bodsilen, in Car-
narvonshire, by Ankaret his wife, daughter and coheir of
David ap William, of the family of Williams of Cych-
Willan, and was in fact, without ascending to the fabulous
and remote generations of Welsh pedigrees, well connected
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX, &C. 33
on all sides; though his family genealogy did derive him from
the chief of one of tiie fifteen tribes of North Wales. Bishop
Owen was also, moreover, first cousin maternally of the re-
nowned Humphry Henchman, Bishop of London, and Priw
Councillor to Ciiarles U. ; of whom notice will hereafter be
made, Bishop Heachman's sister having married Arthur
Hodilow, first cousin to Sarah Hodilow, Bishop Owen's wife.
Dr. John Owen, who was born at Burton Latimer, and was,
like his father, Rector thereof, had received his education at
Jesus College, Cambridge, of whicii, before his marriage, he
was a fellow, and was promoted to the see of St. Asaph's, Sep-
tember 1629, by the patronage of Laud, then Bishop of Lon-
don ; who had ever been one of his best friends ; but, as
Fuller says, " he (Owen) deserved a far better preferment."
Thereupon Dr. Owen returned to his native country, and
lived at his palace at Perthkinsey till his death, highly re-
spected and beloved in his diocese. He outlived his vote in
Parliament, however, and survived to see every species of con-
tempt cast upon his order; all which he bore with his habi-
tual tranquillity and amiability. He died at Perthkinsey, loth
Oct. 1651 ; and his funeral was solemnized with heraldic
pomp, in St. Asaph's cathedral, 21st Oct. 1651. Bishop
Owen sealed with an oval, containing his paternal coat im-
paled with that of his see, as appears by an impression of it in
wax in Harl. MS. 1974. His paternal arms were, " Gules, a
chevron between three lions rampant or;" but he was also
entitled to quarter \\"illiaius of Cych-Willen, " Gules, a
chevron ermine between three men's heads couped at the neck,
in profile, proper, hair and beard sable. He liad married^
secondly, EUzabeth, daughter of Vernon, of Cambridge-
shire, widow of Gray, (and by her had a daughter Eli-
zabeth, living 1651 ;) and thirdly, Ellen, daughter of Robert
Wynne, of Conway, in Wales, Esq. and by her had issue
who died young, or s. p. But his only issue, of whom further
record is preserved, were by the heiress of Hodilow, his first
wife, viz.
1. Robert Owen, of Wepper, or Weppra, co. Flint,
LL.B. who was appointed Chancellor of the diocese of St.
Asaph after the Restoration in 1660; but died soon after,
viz. on the 29th July ]661 ; having married Frances,

brother of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart, (same arms as Pen-

of the very first families in the kingdom; who had, in

and bore for arms, " Argent, a chief vairee or and

III. Joseph Hodilow, of Cambridge, gent, who married Anne,
daughter of Abraham Mellis, or INIellowes, of JMaldon, in
Essex, sister of another Abraham Mellis, gent. ; and had bv her
who predeceased him, an only son, of whom presently. Joseph
Hodilow made his will 30 July, 2rth Eliz. (1585), and left
many bequests to his brothers in law and to his sisters, to his
only son \V^illiam, and to his brother Thomas Hodilow ; to his
father Thomas Hodilow, and to Mary his mother in law, wife
of the said Thomas his father. The testator was evidently a
gentleman of considerable property about Cambridge, and men-
tions having purchased lands at Impington, near that place ; and
leaves charitable legacies to that parish, and to the parishes of
St. Peter, St. Giles, and St. Clement, s in Cambridge. He
leaves to his sisters a great many dresses, girdles, stomachers,
trinkets, &;c. belonging to his late wife ; mentioning her " first
best ring," her "second best ring," and her " third best ring,"
&c. He moreover seems to have been quite a fashionable young
man of his time, for he mentions his " lute," his " rapier," and
his " dagger ; " all of which he bequeaths to one or other of his
brothers in law. He speaks of his cousins, John Lynge and
John Webb, of Risbye, and appoints his father, ]\Ir, Thomas
Hodilow, and Mary his wife, executors, and constitutes them
guardians of his son William. He also leaves to his own and
to his father's servants, and to the old women of Mary his mo-
ther in law. He made a dateless codicil, making bequests to his
brother in law Abraham INlellis, and to a servant of his cousin
Hodilow of Impington. Testator died soon after, his will being
proved 19th July 1586, in the Prerogative Couit of Canterbury,
by the executors. By Anne Mellis he left an only son and
heir.
I. William Hodilow, a minor in 1585 and 1595, who was
brought up at Cambridge by his grandfather, Thomas Hodi-
low, and subsequently by Mary his widow, but afterwards
settled at Hailweston, in Huntingdonshire, where he possessed
property, part of which is still known as " Hodilow^s Close."
Here, during the seventeenth century, he for long lived in
e These being the parishes with which the Hodilows were concerned, when
resident at Cambridge, the registries of all of them have been searched for record of
the family ; but unfortunately, in each case, quite unsuccessfully ; which is some-
what unaccountable.

36 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
great reputation, in a mansion situate within or near Ho-
dilow's Close, but since demolishetl; and married Dorothy,
widow of Richard Weaver, Esq. of Ilailweston, in Hunting-
donshire. By licr, however, though she had divers children
by Mr. Weaver, he had no issue ; and dying at a very ad-
vanced age, his burial occurs in Hailweston parish register,
5th April 1G7G, as " William Hodilow, gent." Dorothy liis
wife survived him, and made her will 30 January 1679, men-
tioning her daughter Beatrice Jackson, her grandchildren
John and Dorothy Jackson, her son William Weaver, and
her grandchild Richard Weaver, appointing her son in law,
John Jackson, I' his guardian, and constituting her son, Wil-
liam Weaver, her executor. She leaves a legacy to the poor
of Hailweston ; and a variety of furniture and household goods,
and a great deal of plate^ (specifying the " silver spoons with
nobs at the ends,") to her grandchildren. She died soon
after, and was buried at Hailweston 10th Oct. 1680. Her
will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 27th
January 1680-1.
I. (? Elizabeth ') Hodilow, who, before 1585, was mar-
ried to the Rev. Anthony Kingsmill, A.M. Vicar of Milton
next Sittingbourne, in Kent, who was pi'esented to that living,
8th Sept. 1585, by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and
which he held till his death in 1616. This oentleman was no
o
doubt descended from a common ancestor with the ancient house
of Kingsmill in the adjoining county of Hants, who were created
Baronets in 1800, and bore for arms, ''• Argent, crusily fitchee
sable, a chevron ermine between three fers de moline sable, a
chief ermines." The above marriage produced, with four younger
children, baptized at Milton between 1589 and 1604, a son,
L Anthony Kingsmill, who has a legacy in the will of his
uncle Joseph Hodilow 1585.
H. Alice Hodilow, married before 1585 to the Rev. Robert
Thexton, Clerk, A.B. of Elendon hall, Cambridge, Rector of
Trunch, in Norfolk, (son of the Rev, Lancelot Thexton, A.M.,

at St. Neot's ; and recorded his pedigree and arms at the Huntingdonshire Visita-

S.T.B. Ileclor of Triinch fioni 15T2 to 1588, and a Prebendary
of Norwich, wlio had been chaplain to King Edward VI., and
who dying, Feb. 1588-9, was buried in 'IVunch churcii, where
a monumental inscription, with his arms of, " Quarterly, 1st and
4th, Argent, a cross between four lion's heads erased gules; and
2nd and 3rd, Ermine, fretty azure," remains to his memory;
and descended from an old house of Churchmen), by whom she
had divers children, and dying, November 1615, was interred at
Trunch. And it is a curious fact, that, though the advowson
of Trunch was not in the Thexton family, they were neverthe-
less successively rectors of IVunch for nearly a hundred and fifty
years, without any break or intermission ; viz. from 1572 to
1709. The family was one of the highest respectability.''
^ The following notes on the Thexton family may not be altogether too unini-
portant to print, though there is no copious pedigree in existence ; at least, none
has occurred to tlie writer.
The Rev. Thomas Thexton, or Thaxton, evidently one of the early " Re-
formers," was presented to the Rectory of Great Bircham, in Norfolk, by King
Henry VIII. A. D. 1543, and was succeeded there, in 1551, by another of his
name (no doubt his son),
The Rev. Lancelot Thexton, A.M., S.T.B., who, after becoming Rector
of Great Bircham 1551, by presentation of King Edward VI. to whom he was
chaplain, was promoted, in 1552, being then A.M., by Elizabeth, widow of Sir
Henry Parker, of Erwarton in Sufifolk, (the daughter and heir of Sir Philip Cal-
thorpe,) to the Rectory of Anmere, in Norfolk. He was also Rector of Hartest
and Boxted, in Suffolk ; and in 1572, Queen Elizabeth made him Rector of Trunch,
in Norfolk, where he then settled, and subsequently resided till he died, being then
S.T.B. On the 8th Feb. 157G-7, he was installed first Prebendary of Norwich
Cathedral; and dying 25th Feb. 1588-9, was buried 28th Feb. in his church of
Trunch, where a monumental inscription, with his arms, as above described, re-
main to his memory. The inscription is very concise, and runs thus :
" Lancelotus Thexton, Capellanus Regis Edw. VI. sacrse theologite bacca-
laureus, et rector de Trunch, obt. 25° Febr. 1588."
It seems probable that as " Ermine, fretty azure " was the old coat of Thexton,
his first and fourth quarterings of "Argent, a cross between four lion's heads erased
gules," was an augmentation allusive to his being chaplain to royalty.
To Lancelot succeeded,
The Rev. Robert Thexton, A.B. of Elendon hall, Camb. in 1578; whoevi-
dently became acquainted with Alice Hodilow through being a Cambridge student.
He had married Alice Hodilow before 1585, and seems to have resided at Cambridge
till his father died. We find him living there in the summer of 1589 ; but his fa-
ther deceasing the following February, he being appointed his successor in the Rec-
tory of Trunch, immediately settled there, and held the Rectory till 1619, when he
resigned it in favour of his son Robert, who was appointed to it by the Assigns of
the Master, &c. of Catharine Hall, Cambridge. Alice dying, was buried at Trunch,
38 THE FAMILY OF IIODILOW, Of
III. Mercy Hodilow, married, in or before 1585, to Jeremy
Cliace, Esq. mayor, alderman, and draper of Cambridge, and ol
Millon, ill Bedfordshire, where he owned an estate (whose father
or uncle, John Chace, was mayor of Cambridge in 1577) ; the
arms of whose family were, " Gules, four crosses pattce argent,
on a canton or a lion passant azure." This Jeremy Chace was
a man remarkable for his virtues and prudence ; and not only
was he most beloved by his father in law, Thomas Hodilow (who
calls him in his will his " well-beloved son in law"); but even the
Chancellor Sir Robert Cecil, in a letter to the corporation of
Cambridge, dated at the " Courte at Richmond 13th Oct. 1601,"
writes with great respect of him, speaking of his " temperate
carriage," Sec. The said Jeremy Chace was mayor of Cambridge
in 1600 and 1607, and made his will, styling himself '* Alderman
of Cambridge," 2nd Oct. 1626. He mentions his lands in Mil-
ton, CO. Bedford, and his several children ; and dying soon after,
it was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury by Mercy
his wife, the executrix; who surviving, made her will, styling
herself of London, widow, (probably resident with the Coles,)
and in good heakh, 27th July 1629, appoints her son in law
29th Nov. 1615 ; Robert, her husband, on the 22nd Jan. 1G24. They appear to
have had issue,
I. Rev. RoBKRT Thexton. who succeeded his father at Trunch.
II. Thomas Thexton, baptized at Trunch, 30 Aug. 1590.
I. Hannah Thexton, baptized at Trunch, 4 Nov. 1593.
II. Agnes Thexton, baptized there, 4 March 1598.
The Rev. Robert Thexton, being born before his father settled at Trunch,
was probably baptized at Cambridge. He was presented to the said Rectory of
Trunch in 1G19 by the Assigns of the Master, «Scc. of Catharine Hall, Cambridge,
and died about 16G0. His successor (and no doubt his son) was another
Rev. Robert Thexton, who, like his progenitors, was Rector of Trunch*
being presented thither in 1660 on the death of the last incumbent. He had been
of Catharine Hall, Cambridge, and took his A. B. degree in 1642. He remained
incumbent of Trunch down to 1709 : thus the family had filled that living for 13?
years. He appears to have had issue,
I. Andrew Thexton.
II. Robert Thexton of Pet. Coll. Camb. who took his A.B. degree 1686.
III. Edward Thexton, of Norwich, who died tet. 70, in 1740, and was buried
in St. Laurence's church, Norwich ; where Sarah, his widow, dying in 1743, at the
age of 82, was likewise interred.
Andrew Thexton was, like his predecessors, a student and graduate of Cath.
Hall, Camb. and took his A.B. degree 1678, and that of A.M. 1682.
Robert Thexton, of Caius Coll. Camb. A.B. 1724, was not improbably the
Bon of him, or of Robert of 1686.

She died very soon after, in Sept. 1G29, as it was proved in the
Prerogative Court of Canterbury 11th Sept. 1629 by the exe-
cutor ; to whom, and his wife, administration, de bonis 7ion, of
the will of Jeremy Ciiace was granted at the same time. The
said Mercy Hodilow, by Jeremy Chace, had three sons and two
daughters,
1. John Chace ;i 2. Thomas Chace; 3. Jeremy Chace; all
living 1626.
1. Mercy Chace, married v. p. to — — Savage; by whom
she had issue, 1626.
2. Anne Chace, wife of George Cole, of London, gent.
1626 and 1629.
IV. Anne '" Hodilow, married to the Rev. Christopher Pas-
ley, Paslew, or Pashley, A.^I. of Linksteed, in Kent, Vicar of
Linksteed and Tenham, in that county, and descended from an
ancient and noble Kentish familj'. " Robert de Pasley, or Pas-
lew, was Treasurer of England, with others, temp. Henry HI. ;
and the family were benefactors to Darsington Priory ; and their
arms, a lion rampant crowned, are on the roof of the cloisters at
Canterbury," says Hasted, This Christopher Pasley, like his
brother in law, Robert Thexton, was a student and graduate of
Elendon hall, Cambridge, and took his A.B. degree like him
in 1572; and having taken his A.M. degree, was presented, 28
April 1589, by the Archdeacon of Canterbury, to the vicarage
of Linksteed; and on the 18tii Dec. 1602, had the neiglibouring
vicarage of Tenham conferred upon him by the same patron-
age ; and he held both the remainder of his life ; but resided at
Linksteed till his death ; which occurred in 1612. He appears
to have left issue, by his wife Hodilow ; and persons, no doubt
his posterity, received university educations at Cambridge for
half a century after his decease. The arms of his ancient family
were, " Purpure, a lion rampant or, crowned argent." "

40 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
V. Catharine o Ilodilow, niarricd, beforo 1585, lo a Mr.
James Broniwell, of the Isle of Thanet, in Kent; but further
information of whom has been searciied for in vain.
VI. (? Margaret P) Ilodilow, wiio was married before
1594 to Mr. John Prance, or Praunce, of Marche, in the Isle of
Ely, by whom she had issue. This gentleman was a member of
the family (and probably a son) of Miles Praunce, Esq. mayor of
Cambridge in 1569 and 1576,1 and a descendant of which most
respectable house was Miles Praunce, a citizen and goldsmith of
London, goldsmith to her Majesty Catharine, consort of
Charles II., the famous witness against Hill, Green, and Berry,
in the Popish Plot, A.D. 1678. (Vide llapin's Hist, of P:ngland,
vol. xi. p. 508, et seq.) But it is said the family enjoyed a high
antiquity in Salop, and on the borders of Wales (? a Welsh
name), before their location in Cambridgeshire. And there are
still branches of it in existence.
Edmund Hodilow, gent, of Kelvedon and Wilham, in
Essex, described by Vincent as also of " Wenham, in Suffolk,"
eldest son and heir apparent of Thomas Ilodilow, of Cambridge,
resided at those places (latterly, however, at Kelvedon) during
his flither's lifetime, whom he predeceased, as already mentioned.
This gentleman was married about 1572, to Barbara Marche, one
of the seven daiightei'S of Robert Marche, Esq. of Haddenham
and Ely in Cambridgeshire, sister of Thomas Marche, Esq. of
Ely (who married Anne Steward, one of the maternal aunts
of Oliver Cromwell, the Protector of the Commonwealth),
and of Robert March, Esq. of Haddenham, ancestor of the
Marches of Haddenham, now extinct in the male line, and next
sister to Mary, wife of Richard Drury, Esq. of Reach, in Swaff'-
ham parish in Cambridgeshire, (son of Thomas Drury, Esq. of
Talbot's Hall, in Fincham, co. Norfolk,) whose grandson, Francis
Drury, recorded his pedigree at the Cambridgeshire Visitation
1619. The said Barbara's mother was Agnes, daughter of John
Castell, of Somersham, in Huntingdonshire, whose family re-
corded their pedigree and arms at the Visitation of Cambridge
° Vincent says " Mary," but Joseph Hodilow's will proves him wrong.
P Vincent says " Cecily," but there is no other record of such a daughter ; and
it is almost certain he is in error.
1 Robert Prance, another member of this family, was a graduate at Cambridge,
Wheatlie hall, temp. Elizabeth, and took his A.B. degree in 1582. He was pro-
bably brother of Joha Praunce, or Prance, above mentioned.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX, &C. 41
1619, luiving afterwards settled in that county; \\\n\e his pater-
nal relatives, the Marches, were of first-rate consequence in
Cambridgeshire, and recorded their pedigree in 1575, 1619, and
1684-; bearing for arms, "Or, three pales azure, on a chief
gules three talbot's heads erased or;'^ and, thougli now extinct,
the two main branches of the f:miily merged as follows : — March
of Ely and Stuntney in Norton of Rotlierfield, in Hants ;
March of Haddenham in Wollaston of Loseley, in Leicester-
shire.
After his marriage Edmond Hodilow resided continuously at
Kelvedon, though he kept up his house at Witham, and owned
also divers lands in Essex ; and he is proved, and recorded, to
have borne his arms of " Gules, a cross patee fitchee at foot
argent within a bordure engrailed or," and his crest of *' Out
of a coronet or, a dragon's head sable, collared or ; " for, when
the celebrated Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, was compiling
his Ordinary of Arms, temp. Elizabeth, the original manuscript
of which is now preserved in the Heralds' College, and highly /
valued, he entered therein, as " Hodilow of Essex," the arms <^
and crest as above described ; which not only gives a very good K
title to the bearings, but goes further, and assigns them to the ,'■
family on prescriptive right, as they never obtained a grant of
either from the Heralds' College ; and as they continued to use
them down to 1698, despite the severe ordinances of the Heralds
then in force, there can be no doubt they were borne with a
good and sufficient title ; and it is by no means improbable that
they were brought over from Holland.
Edmond Hodilow, however, did not enjoy a long life : for
" being sicke," he made his will, styling himself of Kelvedon, in
Essex, "gentleman," (an addition infinitely of greater dignity
in those days than "Esquire" of our times,) 16th December,
29th Eliz. (1586). He leaves the enjoyment of his lands to
Barbara his wife, during the minority of his two sons, to pay his
legacies, perform his will, and bring up his children ; and he
shows himself to have been a good man, for he directs that, if she
marry again, he that she marries be bound in the sum of 1,000/.
before marriage to his father, if living, and if dead, to his brother
Thomas Hodilow, "to bring up my children," says he, '^ in "the
feare of God and in good Icarninge." He leaves to his father
10/. per annum for life, chargeable on all his lands, in considera-
42 THE FAMILY OF IIODILOWj OF
tioiv of 200/. his father had given him not long before : anil de-
sires burial in Kelvedon church, leaving to the repairs thereof,
and of the " well " in it; as well as two legacies to the Rev. Mr.
Simpson, Vicar of Kelvedon, one for writing his will for him,
and another to preach certain sermons after his death. He leaves
to his children, as hereafter mentioned, and to each of his sisters,
and his brod)er Thomas, a mourning ring; and to his father, one
of superior workmanship. He makes bequests to divers friends,
dependents, poor persons, and servants ; and appoints Barbara,
his wife, executrix, and Thomas Hodilow, his brother, overseer ;
and dying a day or two afterwards, (probably aged not more
than 40,) his funeral was solemnized in Kelvedon church, 22
Dec. 158G. r Barbara, his wife, survived him, and proved his
will in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 27 June 1587; and
it is proper to observe that, thirty-three years afterwards, an
administration de bonis non was granted, by the same Court, 3rd
July 1620, to Brampton Gurdon, Esq. of Ashlington, in Suffolk;
though, unless he happened to have married a daughter of Ed-
mond Hodilow, it is not known how his concern with the flimily
originated.
After Edmond Hodilow's death, Barbara, his widow, returned
with their young flimily into Cambridgeshire, and lived her few
remaining years at Cambridge, but only survived her husband a
short time. She made her will there, " being sicke," (her bro-
ther in law, the Rev. Robert Thexton, attests it, attending her
doubtless, in a spiritual capacity,) and in sure hopes of salvation,
6vc. styling herself " of Cambridge, widow," 21st Sept. 1589;
appoints her brother in law Mr. Thomas Hodilow, and her bro-
ther Mr. William Marche, executors. She speaks of her chil-
dren, all then minors, with great affection. She died very soon
after, for her will was proved, 4.th May 1590, in the Prerogative
Court of Canterbury, by Thomas Redman, notary public, pro-
curator of Thomas Hodilow, one of the executors. By her Ed-
mond Hodilow had issue three sons and four daughters,
I. Arthur Hodilow, of whom hereafter, as heir to his
father, and grandfather.
' It is very probable there was, at one time, a brass, with an inscription and arms,
to his memory in Kelvedon church ; as there are now many hollows there, where
such have formerly existed; and which were no doubt torn away, to satisfy the ra-
pacity of Cromwell's soldiers, sixty years afterwards,

II. Thomas Hodilow, baptized at Kelvedon, in Essex, 5th

III. John Hodilow, of Witham, in Essex, who was bap-
tized at Kelvedon, 1st March 1583-4; and was a minor in
1586, when his fadier, by his will, dated Dec. 1586, leaves
him his house at Witham, and his lands called Segmier's, or
Sedmarsh, lying in Lutchingdon, Lawland, and Mayland, all
in Essex. This gentleman lived temp. James I. and Charles I.
but apparently on bad terms with his brother Arthur, as the
latter, in recording his pedigree in 1618, omits both him, John
Hodilow, and also his sisters, from the record. They were,
however, reconciled before death ; for Arthur lying sick at
Grafton Underwood in 1635, this John, his brother, not only
wrote his will for him, but was appointed executor therein ;
which executorship, however, he renounced in IGil, after his
brother Arthur died. Further record of John Hodilow has
not been discovered; but it seems very certain that he died
s.p.
I. Anne Hodilow, baptized at Kelvedon 27th June 1574,
who, by her father's will, has a legacy of 100/. A. D. 1586.
II. Katharine Hodilow, baptized at Kelvedon, 18 Nov. 1575.
She has a legacy of 10/. by her father's will; and was living
also in 1594, when her grandfather Thomas Hodilow makes
her a bequest.
III. INIarche Hodilow, (a daughter so christened, it is
needless to notice, after her mother's family.) She v/as bap-
tized at Keldon 30th Dec. 1576, and has 100 marks by her
father's will.
IV. Susanna Hodilow, born a few days before her father's
death, Dec. 1586, and in his will styled, " my daughter, the
child new born, but not clu'istened." She was baptized, how-
ever, on the day of her father's funeral, 22 Dec. 1586, at Kel-
vedon. Her father left her also a legacy of 100 marks, s
• From their brother omitting all these ladies from the pedigree he recorded,

"William Horsnell, or Horsenaile, of a respectable family settled chiefly in Berks and

baptized at Kclvedon, in Essex, 24 Feb. 1577-8, and succeeded
his father in 1586, and his grandfather in 1595, in all the dif-
ferent entailed estates at Cambridge, Ely, Sec. in that county,
as well as at Kelvedon and elsewhere in Essex ; but being only
young at his flilher's death, was brought up by his uncle, Tho-
mas Hodilow, of London, and Burton Latimer, in Northamp-
tonshire, and marrying a lady of that county himself, moreover,
became permanently seated at Grafton Underwood, co. North-
ampton ; and being not only a man of considerable pro-
perty, but of very good connections, both paternally and mater-
nally, recorded his pedigree in the private manuscripts of the
celebrate Augustin Vincent, Rouge Croix, A. D. 1618, (Vincent,
112, in Coll. Arm.) and which pedigree, there can be no doubt,
it was intended to enter in the regular Visitation of Northamp-
tonshire made that year by Vincent; the omission of which evi-
dently resulted from a discovery that Mr. Hodilow had com-
mitted several mistakes in the baptismal names of his ancestors
and relatives, — a species of blunder by no means uncommon in
many of the pedigrees which actually do stand on record in the
Visitations ; and which are evidence in a court of laic notwith-
standing all their errors.^ Arthur Hodilow's recorded pedigree
John Hodilow. See -post. Still it is not impossible that these Horsenells might
descend from a previous marriage of Mr. Thomas Henchman, of London, hereafter
noticed. It is extremely probable, however, that there was some marriage with the
Gurdons of Ashlington, in Suffolk . though their pedigree displays no Hodilow
connection. That worshipful house bore, "Sable, three leopard's faces jessant de
lis or.''
• There is no parish register at Grafton Underwood anterior to 1G80.
" To substantiate this charge against the Visitations, let no less than two different
entries be referred to, relating to the D'Oyly family. See pedigree ofD'Oylyof
Turville in the Bucks Visitation 1634, where a sister of the then representative of
the family is said to be " Mary," wife of Richard Willmott. Her name was
" IMargaret ; " as appears by both her mother's will and her baptismal register.
But refer also to the James pedigree in the Durham Visitation Itilo, where a son
of the very man recording the genealogy is said to marry Anne, daughter of John
D'Oyly, of Overbury, in Suffolk. There was never a John D'Oyly in that family.
Her father was Edward D'Oyly. This instance is particularly referred to, as the
original of that Visitation is in the British Museum. In Hodilow's record of his
pedigree, three of his aunts, the husband of one of them, his maternal grandfather,
and his great-grandfather Hodilow, have all incorrect baptismal names, as has been
proved by wills, &c. And it is more than probable the same errors e-xist with

great-grandfather. Tiie said Arthur Hodilow was twice married.
First, about IGOO, to Jane Henchman, only sister of the cele-
brated and Right Rev. Dr. Humphry Henchman, D.D. Lord
Bishop of London, and Privy Councillor, and High Almoner
to King Charles 11., whose life that prelate is famous for
having saved, after the battle of Worcester in 1651; and
daughter of Thomas Henchman, Esq. of Wellingborough, in
Northamptonshire, and of London, citizen and skinner, by Anne
Griffith his wife, aunt of Dr. John Owen, before mentioned as
husband of Sarah Hodilow, (first cousin to Arthur,) and daugh-
ter of Robert Griffith, Esq. Constable of Carnarvon in Wales ;
and thus two first-cousins married two first-cousins.
The Henchmans were a family of great antiquity and respect-
ability in Northamptonshire, having been seated at Great
Dodington, in that county, at a very distant period ; and the
family pedigree, and arms, of "Argent, a chevron between three
horns sable, strung gules, on a chief sable three lions rampant of
the first," were recorded at the London Visitation 1634, by Mrs.
Hodilow's father, the said Thomas Henchman. She had divers
brothers beside the Bishop ; and an imperfect pedigree of the
family, deduced to a late date, is extant in one of our county
histories. Of the Bishop, the best biography is in Cassan's
Lives of the Bishops of Salisbury; and portraits of him are in
existence. Bishop Henchman was undoubtedly one of the most
eminent prelates that England has ever produced .
By Jane Henchman, who died before 1635, but was living in
1618, Arthur Hodilow had six sons and two daughters;
L Thomas Hodilow, of Dantzic, in Germany, an eminent
merchant there. He was born about 1603; aged 15 at the
recording of the pedigree, A. D. 1618, and, by reason of his
regard to his grandmother Hodilow. As to the baptismal names of the grand
and great-grand parents of the party recording, it is no exaggeration to state, that
they are as often wrong as right. It is absurd to suppose that men of a neces-
sity must possess flCCMra^e genealogical information up to their great-grand parents.
On the contrary, they very seldom possess perfect, and hardly ever correct in-
telligence thereon, certainly not on baptismal names, unless they are " more or
less" genealogists.
46 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
father's large family, brought up a merchant in London, under
one Matthew Cradock, a Staffordshire gentleman of good fa-
mily, but a merchant of the city of London, like many other
persons of good pedigree, at that time. Such was the reputa-
tion of the " trades of London " in those days ; and so well
did master and apprentice agree, that, about 1635, Matthew
Cradock, Esq. took Thomas Hodilow into partnership with
him. What was their branch of merchandize does not ap-
pear : but, sure it is, Thomas Hodilow became soon afterwards
located at Danlzic, in Germany ; and made his will there,
May 1611 (17th Car. L), styling himself "Thomas Hodilow,
merchant." He enters into long details of his affairs, and,
with a high sense of honour, makes various arrangements,
and gives several directions regarding his property, for the
express purpose of preventing his partner, Mr. Cradock,
losing anything by him ; and shows himself to have been a
young man of the highest principles. His only relation named
in his will is his youngest sister Cecily Hodilow, to whom he
leaves all he was able, no doubt in consequence of her having
received the affliction of a stepmother shortly before. He
died very soon after v. p., May 1611, unmarried, and aged
about 38 : and his will not being known of at his death, ad-
ministration was granted by the Prerogative Court of Canter-
bury in 1611, to liis brother John Hodilow, and his brother
in law James Fishe. The will, however, having at length
been brought to England, v.-as proved in both the Consistory
Court of London, and the Prerogative Court of Canterbury,
April 1645, when administration annexed thereto was granted
to Thomas Jorden, his principal assignee.
II. Rev. Arthur Hodilow, of whom presently, as heir
to his father.
III. Edmond Hodilow, a minor in 1618, who was alive in
1635, but dead, it seems, in 1611, (and certainly soon after,)
having married a lady unrecorded, by whom he left one son,
I. Edmond Hodilow, of whom hereafter, as heir male
to Arthur, his uncle.
1\\ John Hodilow, of Lubbenham, in Leicestershire, gent,
a minor in 1618. He made his will 3rd Jan. 1618-9, and a
nuncupative codicil about five weeks before his death, viz. on
the 14th Feb. 1648-9. lie mentions all his brothers and sis-
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX, &C. 4/
ters of the whole blood then alive, and his nephew Edmond
Hodilow, Sec. as well as his sister in law Ermine Hodilow (of
whom hereafter), and her house in Cambridge ; John, son of
his uncle Owen Henchman: and John and George Horsnell,
sons of his uncle William Horsnell. He makes a charitable
bequest to the poor of Grafton Underwood, in Northampton-
shire, and appoints his brother Richard Hodilow, of London,
goldsmith, his executor ; who proved the same v.-iil in the
Prerogative Court of Canterbury 8 March 1648-9: John
Hodilow, the testator, having died soon after his codicil was
made, s. p. and a3t. about 40.
V. Philip Hodilow, of Radwell, in Herts, vintner, a minor
in 1618. He made his will 23 March 1641-2, mentionino- all
his brothers and sisters of the whole blood then livino-, and his
nephew, Edmond Hodilow. He died s. p. set. about 30, soon
after, and his will was proved in the Prerogative Court of
Canterbury 1642.
VI. Richard Hodilow, of whom hereafter, as eventually
heir male of the family.
I. Jane Hodilow, a minor 1618; married first before 1641,
(and probably before 1635,) to Janies Fishe, Esq. of the emi-
nent old Hertfordshire and Suffolk family of the name, who
bore, " Chequ}', or and gules, on a pale sable three mullets
or;" but she is not recorded to have had issue by him, who
died before 1648-9. She espoused, secondly, Constable,
Esq. before 1683; and both she and he were alive, at a fine
old age, in 1696. This Mr. Constable was no doubt a mem-
ber of the populous Yorkshire family of the name, which bears,
'^ Barry of six or and azure," and who had assumed their
patronymic at a very early period from being Constables of
of Chester. See an elaborate account of this family in Poul-
son's Holderness.
H. Cecily Hodilow, who was the favourite sister, and legatee,
of her brother Thomas. She was born subsequent to 1618,
and was married between 1610 and 1648-9 to one Francis
Collins, Esq. ; but of what family is not positively knov/n ;
though, probably, he was a member of the populous house of
the name settled in Northamptonshire, Suffolk, Essex, Staf-
fordshire, and Kent, which bore, " Vert, a griffin segreant
4S THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
or." Both he and slie were living in 1GG3 and 1696; but
are not recorded to have liad issue.
Arthur Hodilow, Esq. of Grafton Underwood, having thus
eight children by his first wife, Jane Henchman, survived her,
and married secondly, between 1G24. and 1635, the Lady Susan-
nah Humfrey, widow of Sir Thomas Humfrey, of Swebston, in
Leicestershire, Knt. (who received that dignity from James L in
1603, having served the office of High Sheriff of Leicestershire
in 1602,) and daughter of George Pilkington, Esq. of Barston,
in Leicestershire, and Staunton le Dale, in Derbyshire, and
great-granddaughter of Edmund Pilkington, Esq. by Katharine
liis wife, sister of William Basset, Esq. of Blore, co. Stafford, (a
lineal descendant of royalty,) which last Edmund was son of an-
other Edmund Pilkington, Esq. of Staunton le Dale, in Derby-
shire, by Margaret, his second wife, daughter of John Babing-
ton, Esq. of Dethick, in Derbyshire, (see Collectanea Topogra-
phica et Genealogica, vol. viii. p. 327,) great-great-grand-aunt
of Andiony Babington, of Dethick, the celebrated conspirator of
1586, in favour of Mary Queen of Scots.
The Pilkingtons were one of the very best families in Derby-
shire, beino- descended from a common ancestor with the noble
house of Pilkington, of Chevet, in Yorkshire, Nova Scotia Baro-
nets. And George Pilkington, Esq., the only bi-other of the
said Lady Susan, recorded their pedigree in 1619 at the Leices-
tershire Visitation, with their arms of " Argent, a cross-potence
voided gules;" the said Susanna having in that year married Sir
Thomas Humfrey, who also had recorded his pedigree and arms
at the same visitation ; his arms being being, "Quarterly, 1st
and 4Ui, Azure, a bend between four leopard's faces or; 2nd and
3rd, Gules, a cross-potence argent, pierced gules, charged with
twelve escallops sable." The Pilkingtons, it may be noticed,
were entided to quarter, 1st, "... fretty ... ( ? Oi\fretty yules)
a canton ermine;^' and 2nd, " on a fesse , three
mullets .... pierced;" (?for Noel and Wyverston.)
In 1635, Arthur Hodilow and Dame Susan Humfrey, his
wife, had a Chancery suit, versus Sir .John Monson, Knt. re-
garding the affairs of her deceased husband. Sir Thomas Hum-
frey. He had also another in 1625, against one Richard
Norton, an innholder at Bedford, arising out of a debt owing to
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX^ &C. 4^
him, Arthur Hodilovv, by one John Dover, of Cranford, in
Northamptonshire, deceased. His bill in that suit was filed 20th
June 1625. In his suit with Sir John Monson, his bill dates
10th Oct. 1635; Sir John Monson's answer was sworn, 14th
May 1636. Neither, however, materially illustrate the Hodilow
pedigree.
Arthur Hodilow, of Grafton Underwood, made his will 27th
February 1635, being very sick. He leaves 50/. apiece to his
sons Thomas, Arthur, and Edmond ; to the first named, only on
condition that he (Thomas) frees the testator's executors from
his master's (Matthew Cradock's) claims. He leaves his daugh-
ter Jane ten shillings for a ring ; and all his other, though nu-
merous children, lOOl. each. He appoints his brother John
Hodilow his executor, who wrote his will for him ; and con-
stitutes his (testator's) wife residuary legatee. He lived, how-
ever, till the month of May 1641, when dying eet. 63, he was
succeeded in the lands and houses at Cambridge and elsewhere,
and in all the entailed property, by his second but eldest sur-
viving son, Arthur. Dame Susan, his wife, survived him ; and
John Hodilow, her brother in law, renouncing the executorship
of his will, letters of administration, with will annexed, were
granted by the Prerogative Court of Canterbury to Dame Susan,
his relict, 2nd June 1641.
This lady survived him many years, and latterly resided at
Swebston, in Leicestershire, the seat of her former husband, Sir
Thomas Humfrey;'' and made her Avill there 11 Jan. 1663-4,
desiring burial in Swebston church. She leaves to her son
Thomas Humfrey, and her daughter Frances, now wife of John
Moseley; to her, Frances, one shilling, in lieu of all claims.
She also leaves to her daughter Grace Moseley, of whom she
^ Lady Humfrey had several children by Sir Thomas Humfrey, of Swebston,
(who died 1624, intestate, she, Lady Susan, administering to his effects), viz.
I. John, and II. Edward Humfrey : both of whom died young, or s. p.
III. Thomas Humfrey, of Swebston, bapt. 1623, heir to his father 1624, and
living 1663-4.
I. Elizabeth Humfrey, bapt. 26 August 1621 ; married to Henry Bedell, of
Great Catworth, in Huntingdonshire, gent, and, dying in 1650, was buried at
Swebston, leaving issue.

speaks with great kindness ; and desires that her son, Anthony
Hodilow, " see to all her wants." She leaves to her grand-
daughter Bedell, and to her sons George Hodilow and William
Hodilow, and to her son in law Mr. Richard Hodilow, and to
her daughters in law, Constable and Collings. She says that the
said Cecily Collings had always claimed against her the legacy
of 50/. left by her late husband, Mr. Arthur Hodilow, to his son
Thomas Hodilow, under the will of her brother Thomas Hodi-
low : but that the said Thomas died before his father, and that
it had therefore lapsed ; yet, nevertheless, " from the love I bear
to her, Cecily," says old Lady Humfrey, " I will that she has
the same legacy of 50/., upon her giving my executor a receipt
thereof." She appoints her " beloved son, Anthony Hodilow,"
sole executor and residuary legatee ; and dying, she was buried
at Swebston 12th Sept. 1664. Her will was proved in the Pre-
rogative Court of Canterbury 27th Sept. 1664, by the executor.
By her, Arthur Hodilow had further issue, four sons and two
daughters.
VII. George Hodilow, of London, a tobacconist and
citizen of London, in the time of Charles II. ; who married,
by licence granted at the Faculty Office, Doctors' Commons,
26th Oct. 1663, Abigail, daughter of Mr. Henry Barker,
of London, and Elizabeth his wife; but of what family
of Barkers is not positively ascertained. This George Hodi-
low had a Chancery suit in 1667-8, with one Watson, which,
being of a curious nature, shall be briefly related. George
Hodilow having bought of a Mr. William Antleby, of Lon-
don, merchant, about August 1666, a parcel of tobacco,
lying in the ship "Bartelott," of Rapahanhock, newly arrived
from Virginia, and then sailing in the Thames, the said
tobacco, upon being taken out of the ship, was found to be
greatly injured and damaged, through the carelessness of John
Watson, the master of the vessel. Whereupon George Hodi-
low protested that some allowance ought to be made in con-
sequence of its condition ; and moreover would not permit it
to be taken into his warehouses, till such allowance was made,
and till the transaction was satisfactorily concluded. To this
Watson would not accede; so the tobacco remained lying on
the wharf, till the Great Fire of London broke out, Sept.
1666, and all the tobacco was consumed upon the wharf.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX, &C. 51
Therefore, in Feb. 1667-8, George Hodilow filed a bill in
Chancery, praying that Watson, and others, therein men-
tioned, might be compelled to appear and answer, (&c. &c.)
as it was entirely through their carelessness and obstinacy
that the tobacco was not warehoused in the first instance.
But the suit was never concluded; Watson had decamped
abroad ; and George Hodilow died very soon after, and that
intestate; letters of administration being granted in Oct. 1670
by the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, to Abigail his widow ;
who surviving, had a Chancery suit in 1672 with one Moss, a
London tobacconist, and a person of the name of Church,
concerning matters of trade between them and her late hus-
band. She made her will, 9th Nov. 1675, appointing her
father and mother. Barker, executors, and her brothers in law,
Richard Hodilow and John Stepheyne, supervisors, and leaves
the bulk of her property to her only son George Hodilow,
then a minor : but sundries thei'ein mentioned, to her sister
Stepheyne : and speaks of her other brothers and sisters. She
died in the same month and year, and her will was proved 18
Nov. 1675, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, by her
father, Henry Barker. By her, George Hodilow left an only
son,
I. George Hodilow, of London, a minor at the death of
his parents, having been born about 1666. He was brought
up by his maternal relations, the Barkers, his guardians,
and made his will, 4th .June 1692, styling himself citizen
and leatherseller of London, but then belonging to iheii-
Majesties' ship " Play Prize." He speaks of prize money
due to him, under the Royal Declaration of 1689. Appoints
Joseph Barker, of London, gent., executor; and leaves all
his property to his maternal relations, and mentions none of
the Hodilows. He died s. p. a young man, and aet. about
30, soon after; and the said Joseph Barker proved his will
in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 20 Feb. 1695-6.
VHI. William Hodilow, mentioned in the will of his mo-
ther, 1663-4, as then living. He married, and had a son
christened after himself,
L William Hodilow, mentioned as "nephew" in the
will of his uncle Richard, A. D. 1696. Of him, however,
there is no fiu-ther record ; and it seems certain he died s. p.

52 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
IX. Henry Hodilovv, of the city of Chester, gentleman ;
who appears to have been the roue, of the family, and was
latterly dependent upon Richard Hodilow, his elder and
wealthy half-brother. Henry died unmarried, and intestate,
about 1696 ; and administration to such effects as he possessed
was granted 1696-7, by the Prerogative Court of Canter-
bury, to his brother, Anthony Hodilow.
X. Anthony Hodii-ow, of whom hereafter, as male repre-
sentative of the family, after the death of Richard Hodilow.
IH. Grace Hodilow, married to Moseley, and alive
1663; and then apparently in a careworn, broken down, and
declining state.
IV. Frances Hodilow, married to another of that name,
viz. John Moseley, before 1664. This lady was cut out
with a legacy of one shilling by the will of her mother Lady
Susan Humfrey. Moseley, of Leicestershire, was a good
family, and bore " Sable, a chevron between thi-ee millpecks
argent." But a strange mystery hangs over the marriages of
Grace and Frances Hodilow ; and, it is strongly suspected,
that the above John Moseley was first married to Grace Ho-
dilow; and after ill-using her, and obtaining a divorce against
her, married to her sister Frances. But this is conjecture,
rather than otherwise.
Now however to
The Rev. Arthur Hodilow, of Stansty, in Wrexham parish,
in Denbighshire in Wales, second but eldest surviving son and
heir of Arthur Hodilow, Esq. of Grafton Underwood. This
gentleman was a minor in 1618, and being brought up to holy
orders, was probably educated at Cambridge ; but his name has
in vain been searched for among the A. B. graduates of that
University, y However this was, it is certain that he received
promotion from his relative Bishop Owen, through whose in-
ducement he settled at Stansty, in Wrexham parish aforesaid,
Wrexham living being in the patronage of the see of St. Asaph's.
Here he resided, and, though the entailed property at Cambritige
descended to him at his father's death, he remained at Stansty,
having married a lady of that neighbourliood. His wife was
Ermine Meredith, fifth of the six daughters of Hugh Meredith,
Esq. of London, but afterwards of Wrexham and Pentrebychan,
r Add. MSS. No. 5885, ia Brit. Mus.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX, &C. :53
in Wales, (uncle of Sir William Meredith, of Stansty aforesaid,
Baronet, so created in 1622; though the title is now extinct,)
by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of John Trott, of Colney
Heath, co. Middlesex. The said Ermine was sister also of Ellis
Meredith, of Pentrebychan, Esq. ancestor of the present Henry
W'^arter Meredith, Esq. of that place ; and her eldest sister,
Susanna, became the second wife of Robert Pulleston, Esq. of
Havod-y-werne in Wrexham parish, brother and heir of Sir
Edward Pulleston, Knt. The arms of this very ancient and
eminent Welsh house of Meredith were, " Azure, a lion ram-
pant or; " and they were moreover entitled to quarter the coats
of seven families,^ viz. (1st. Meredith, as above) ; 2nd. Azure, a
fesse or between three nag's heads erased argent ; 3rd. Azure,
a lion) statant guardant or; 4th. Sable, a chevron between
(? stag's) heads erased or ; 5th. Azure, a lion rampant ermine ;
6th. Gules, three chevronels argent ; 7th. Argent, a cross en-
grailed and couped, flory at the ends, between four birds sable ;
(8th. As first.)
By his marriage, Mr. Hodilow became allied to almost all the
notable families in Denbighshire, and the adjoining counties ;
these Merediths having matched, generation after generation,
with one or other of them ; and, according to Welsh genealogy,
that family itself was founded by Eunyd Gwernewy, a chieftain
of North Whales, and head of one of the fifteen tribes.
Arthur Hodilow, who appears to have been a man of feeble
constitution and delicate health, made his will " with his own
weake hand," he tells us, 15 July 1644; styling himself "of
Stansty, Clerk ;" he leaves to his wife and daughter, and appoints
his brother John executor. He mentions his aunt (in law),
Mrs. Elizabeth Meredith, of Stansty, from whom he had received
much kindness, and his cousin (in law), (her son) Edward Me-
redith, of Stansty ; also his sister (in law), Mrs. Susan Pulles-
ton, of Havod-y-werne, and his cousins (by marriage) Jane and
Katharine Pulleston.^ He declined very gradually; deceased

about 1617, aged circa 42; and his will was proved in the C.
P. C. 29 Nov. 1647. By the said Ermine Meredith, who
survived him, and held his house and estate at Cambridge
during her widowhood, (which he must have settled upon her
soon after he succeeded to it;) but continued to reside at Stiinsty,
and was living his widow in 1648 and 1652, he had issue an
only child,
I. Jane Hodilow, liis sole heiress at law, a minor 1644.
She was living unmarried in 1648 and 1652, when legacies are
left her by her relatives : in the former year by her uncle
John Hodilow ; in the latter by her aunt, Mrs. Susan Pulles-
ton. But no further recortl has been discovered regarding
her, or her mother ; though they carried the Cambridge pro-
perty out of the family.
Edmond Hodilow, gent, son of Edmond, and nephew of
the Rev. Arthur Hodilow, became heir male of the family on
the death of the latter, circa 1647. Very little, however, is
known of him. He was a minor in 1641, and had a legacy in
the will of his uncle John Hodilow 1648; but it is clear that he
died s. p. quite a young man, not long after ; and thus the repre-
sentation of the family devolved on his uncle,
Richard Hodilow, Esq. of Hampstead, in Middlesex, and
of London, citizen, and a goldsmith of great eminence in the
time of Charles H. (sixth son of Arthur Hodilow, Esq. of Graf-
ton Underwood, co. Northampton, by Jane his first wife, sister
of Dr. Humfrey Henchman, Bishop of London.) This Richard
Hodilow was born about 1620, and was apprenticed as " Rich-
ard, son of Arthur Hodilow, of Grafton Underwood, co. North-
ampton, gent." to John Wilding, of London, goldsmith, 1 De-

rose to be one of the first goldsmiths in London ; no doubt, de-
riving much of his importance, and connexion in business, from
being nephew to Bishop Henchman, then one of the Privy
Council to King Charles II. He receives mention in the will
of his brother Philip, 164-1 : and, 1648-9, was executor to his
brother John Hodilow ; and a legatee in the will of his step-
mother, Lady Susan Humfrey, 1663-4. But ere this, he had
married. Richard Hodilow espoused, pursuant to licence granted
16 Jan. 1650-L at the Faculty Office, Doctors' Commons, Lon-
don, Susanna, second of the three daughtei's, and coheiresses, of
William Pycheford, or Pitchford, gent, of Lee Brockhurst, co.
Salop, and of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, citizen and
haberdasher, son of Thomas Pycheford, Esq. of Lee Brockhurst,
in Salop, and uncle of Thomas Pycheford, Esq. of Lee Brock-
hurst, who married Jane Hill, of Hawkstone, co. Salop, ances-
trix of the Lord Berwick, and of the Baronets Hill of Hawk-
stone; nephew also of William Pycheford, of London, grocer,
■whose wife and widow Elizabeth Aldersey, niece of Randle Al-
dersey, Esq. of Aldersey, in Cheshire, married secondly, Thomas
first Lord Baron Coventry; and likewise nephew of Robert
Pycheford, Esq. of St. Alban's, in Herts, who, at the Hertford-
shire Visitation, in 1634, recorded his pedigree from his grand-
father, John Pycheford, Esq. of Lee Brockhurst, and the arms
of the family (which had been allowed to be legally and right-
fully borne by them, by Robert Cooke Clarenceux, temp.
Eliz.) of " Azure, a cinquefoil between six martlets or :" — and
which ancient house of Pycheford, or de Pycheford, was lineally
descended from Sir John de Pycheford, who died seised of
the manor of Lee Brockhurst 13th Edw. I. (1284-5), whose
progenitor Ralph de Pycheford was, for his valiant conduct at
Bridgenorth Castle, in the reign of Henry I. enfeoffed by that
monarch of Littlebrug in that neighbourhood, to be held by the
service of finding dry wood for the fires in Bridgenorth Castle
when the King came thither. The two other daughters, and co-
heiresses, of William Pycheford, were, 1st. Elizabeth Pycheford,
married to Thomas Steane, or Stayne, of London, citizen and
waxchandler ; and 3rd, Rebeccah Pycheford, married to Isaac
Honywood, of Hampstead, in Middlesex, (son of Edward Hony-
wood, of Islington, who was son of Sir Thomas Honywood, of
56 THE TAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
Evington, in Kent, and brother of Sir John, the ftither of Sir
Edward Ilonywood, Bart.), and both had issue.''
By his said wife, Richard Hodilow acquired a considerable
real estate, both in possession and remainder, situate in London
and Hampstead, as well as a larger amount of personal property,
in the lifetime of her father ; being married nine years before
that gentleman's decease, who, however, at his death in 1659,
left the mass of his property undisposed of to the youngest and
favourite of his three daughters, Rebeccah, who was then in her
minority, but afterwards married Mr. Honywood. Remainder,
however, to his daughters Steane and Hodilow, and their heirs.
Part of this property consisted of houses in Coleman Street,
London, which were burnt down by the Great Fire in Sept.
J 666, as appears from No. 5079, of the Add. MSS. in the Brit.
Mus., Decree No. 69 : the said Rebeccah Pycheford being then
wife of Isaac Honywood, and possessed of the property, which in
" default of issue was to descend, pursuant to William Pych-
ford's will, dated 4 Feb. 1658-9, to the said Elizabeth Steane
and Susanna Hodilow." In 1676, Richard Hodilow had a Chan-
cery suit, as executor of his brother in law, Thomas Steane,
versus John, son of Sir Charles Doe, of London, Knt. ; Richard
Hodilow being then of London, goldsmith. He latterly, how-
' An article containing the genealogy of the Honywoods allied to, and descended
from, Rebecca Pycheford, may appear in the pages of this work. The following
notes on Steane, or Stayne, will complete the destinies of these three coheiresses.
Thomas Steane, or Stayne, of London, citizen and waxchandler, was mar-
ried to Elizabeth Pycheford, the eldest of the three coheiresses, in her father's life-
time, and obtained a pretty fortune by her. He was without doubt a son of the
old Yorkshire and Lincolnshire family of the name, who bore " Argent, two bars
engrailed sable," and took their name from Stayne in the latter shire, at which
place they had their chief seat. This Thomas Staines (for he spelt his name in
every way) made his will 26 June 1674, appointing his brother in law, Richard Ho-
dilow, executor; and dying about August 1675, it was proved in C. P. C. by the
executor in or before June 1676, who had subsequently a vexatious Chancery suit
against John, son of Sir Charles Doe, Knt. arising out of the executorship ; Steane
having been executor to John Lane, a London grocer, (partner with one Jeremy
Gough,) which Lane had been a great friend of Sir Charles Doe. Richard Hodi-
low's bill was filed 20 June 167G. John Doe's answer sworn 8 May 1677. And
from the proceedings therein, we find that, by Elizabeth his said wife, who survived
him, Thomas Staines had left only two daughters his coheiresses, I. Anne S. mar-
ried 1676-7 to Robert Hill, gent.; and IL Elizabeth S. a minor, and unmarried
1677. Who with their mother, Robert Hill, Jeremy Gough, Benjamin Lane, gent,
being parties to the said suit, put in their answers, swora 36th June 1677 ; Eliza-
beth, the daughter, by her mother, her guardian.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX, &C. 57
ever, resided al Hampstead, in Middlesex. His wife, who pre-
deceased him, was buried in St. John's church, Hampstead (the
old edifice ') ; and record proves Richard Hodilow to be living
there in 1684, and in 1687. Nevertheless he made his last will
23rd Feb. 1696-7, styling himself of London, goldsmith ; which
will is sealed with a beautiful little seal containing the Hodilow
arms and crest, as before described, with a great deal of mantling
and ornament; but without any impalement or quartering; and
thus engraved, in every probability, before his marriage, as his
wife was not only a coheiress, but well entitled to coat armour.
He desires burial in Hampstead church, near his deceased
wife, if there be room, and if not under his pew. He leaves
his personal property, which was the chief part of his estate,
between his two sons in law ; and devises his Hampstead
copyhold messuage and lands to his son in law, Dawes, while to
Susan Burren, his other daughter, wife of Anthony Burren, he
leaves his leasehold estate, viz. five houses in Cinnamon Street,
London, parish of St. John's, Wapping, which he had purchased
of John Wellbourn. He mentions having advanced money to
his nephew William Hodilow, which he foregoes, and also men-
tions that he had lent money to the husbands of his sisters Con-
stable and Collins. He speaks of having allowed his brother
Henry Hodilow, a certain sum per annum, for some years : and
appears, in fact, to have done a great deal for his family. He
alludes to his brother John Hodilow, as being dead ; but never
once mentions his half-brother Anthony. He appoints his sons
in law, Dawes and Burren, residuary legatees, but neglects to
appoint executors. He died about sixteen months afterwards
aged about 78, and was interred in Hampstead church 18th May
1698. Before*^ his funeral, however, administration, with will
annexed, was granted 12th May 1698, by the Prerogative Court
of Canterbury, to his two sons in law, Dawes and Burren. Rich-
ard Hodilow, the goldsmith, was very rich, so much so, that
the traditions of his wealth have ever been fostered, and kept
up most tenaciously, by his descendants : and with him un-
questionably fell the fortunes of the Hodilow family; though, as
* Old Hampstead church stood East of the Tower, and is now part of the church-
yard. By an extraordinarj^ expedient, the present edifice was erected West of the
old steeple ; which still remains.
'' This is singular, and difficult to give a reason for.
68 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
we shall presently show, the male line did not entirely terminate
at his death ; for he left a surviving bi'other of the half-blood.
By Susan Pycheford, Richard Hodilow, however, had only
daughters ; coheiresses to him ; and to their maternal grand-
father, William Pycheford, in common with their cousins the
Steanes and Honywoods. They were,
I. Elizabeth Hodilow, eldest coheiress, born about 1657,
married at Hampstead 1684, by licence granted at the Vicar
General's office. Doctors' Commons, London, 24 Nov. 1684,
to Samuel Dawes, then of St. Michael's, Cornhill, London,
citizen, and a member of the Fishmonger?' Company. The
licence describes each as of twenty-seven years of age, and
respectively a bachelor and spinster. The said Samuel Dawes
lived at Hampstead on his father in law's property, and ap-
pears to have had issue in 1696. But it has been fruitless at-
tempting to trace his possible posterity ; and there is strong
reason to believe, that he, his wife, and children were all dead
s. p. in 1726. Of what family of Dawes he was a member is
unknown ; though most probably of a younger branch of
Dawes of Putney, in Surrey, which family bore, " Argent, on
a bend azure, cotised gules, between six poleaxes sable, three
swans or ; " and the eldest branch of which was raised to the
rank of Baronet in 1663, though now extinct.
II. Susanna Hodilow, (the second coheiress and daughter
of Richard Hodilow,) born about 1664, became (pursuant to
licence granted 10th March 1687-8, at the Vicar General's
Office, Doctors' Commons,) the second wife of Anthony Bur-
ren, of St. Dunstan's in the East, London, merchant, he being
then a widower ast. 36, and she spinster set. 23 : which An-

property at Reading, and was mayor of that borough in 1638 (14th Car. I.) being
so appointed in the corporation charter granted that year. He married before

after, and it was proved 27th Jan. 1644-5, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
By his said wife, who survived him, he had issue,
I. Richard, his heir.
I. Avice, bapt. at St. Laurence's, Reading, Feb. 1616, and married v. p. to
Anthony Philpe, of London, merchant, by whom she had issue. He died before
1672, or in that year. She surviving him made her will 8th Feb. 1672-3 (25 Car.
II.), and, djang liis widow in 1687, was buried with heraldic honours. The arms
used being" Or, semue of cross-crosslets gules, a wolf rampant sable," for Philpe,
impaled with Burren, as hereafter described, in a lozenge. Her will was proved
20th April 1687 in C. P. C. They had issue : 1. Anthony Philpe, living 1643 and
1687. 2. Thomas Philpe, his mother's executor in 1687; and Elizabeth Philpe,
living 1643, married in or before 1672 to Lenton.
II. Elizabeth, baptized at St. Laurence's, Reading, in 1620, living unmarried
1643.
III. Anne, living a spinster 1643 and 1651 ; who *' died a maid,'' says the
pedigree of 1687.
RicHAKD Burren, only son and heir, was baptized at St. Laurence's, Read-
ing, in 1612, and removed up to London, where he became a merchant, and
married Mary, sister of Michael Biddulph, ancestor of Biddulph of Ledbury, co.
Heref. and dau. of Anthony Biddulph, of Wood Street, London, merchant, citizen
and haberdasher, uncle of Sir Theophilus Biddulph, of Westcombe, co. Kent, and
Elmhurst, co. Stafford, Bart, and third sou of Simon Biddulph, Esq. of Elmhurst, co.
Stafford, by Joyce his wife, daughter of Richard Floyer, Esq. of Uttoxeter, co.
Stafford, and directly descended from tlie ancient house of Biddulph, of Biddulph,
CO. Stafford, where the family had been seated from the time of the Conquest. Her
arms were " Vert, an eagle displayed argent," for Biddulph, quartering Overton,
" Argent, a cross formee gules," and Greenway," Argent, a chevron debruised be-
tween three cross-crosslets fitchee sable." Her mother was Elizabeth, daughter of
Robert Palmer, Esq. an alderman of Loudon, by his wife Mary, daughter of -^— -
Cradock of Staffordshire. Anthony Biddulph, her father, though he had six
children, two sons, Robert and Michael, and four daughters, Elizabeth wife of
Henry Crispe, Joyce wife of Richard Wynne, Mary wife of Richard Burren,
and Sarah, gave each of his daughters 1 ,600/. on her marriage, (a considerable for-
tune, two centuries ago, for ladies with surviving brothers) ; as appears by the will
of Anthony Biddulph dated 11 Aug. 1651, and proved in C. P. C. 28th Oct. 1651.
Richard Burren made his will 14th Oct. 1651, " by reason," says he, " of the
dangerous times in which I live ; " he died soon after aet, about 40, and Mary his
widow proved his will, 30th Dec. 1651, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
His issue by her were,
I. Richard, who died young, v. p.
II. Anthony, heir to his father.

his widow in 1687.

death of liis lather in law Hodilow, and lived latterly at
Hampstead. In 1726 his wife's maternal cousin, Edward
Honywood, Esq. of Hampstead, leaves him a mourning ring.
Anthony Burren attended meetings of the Mercers' Company
(of which he was free) down to 1728, and in 1731 was a
member of the Court of Assistants of the Russia Company.
In this last year he died, within a few days of the 80th anni-
versary of his birthday, and was buried at Hampstead 1 6th
Sept. 1731. By Susan Hodilow this gentleman had issue two
sons and nine daughters :
1. Richard Burren, of St. Catharine Cree's, London^
baptized 12 Aug. 1690 at St. Dunstan's in the East, Lon-
don. This gentleman, however, died unmarried, intestate,
and embarrassed, about 1739, ast. 49, and letters of admi-
nistration to his effects were granted by C. P. C. to Nicho-
las Newton, one of his creditors, in 1739.
By his death his six surviving sisters then became co-
heiresses of the Burren, Hodilow, and Pycheford families.
2. x\nthony Burren, baptized 12 Feb. 1694 at St. Dun-
stan's in the East ; but he died early s. p.
born about Sept. 1651, and receives mention in his father's will, though then
quite an infant. He was brought up by his mother, and was apprenticed to William
Nutt, of London, merchant and citizen, and a member of the Mercers' Company ;
the freedom of which was conferred upon Anthony Burren 5th March 1679-80.
At the London Visitation made in 1687, Anthony Burren, then resident in Great
Tower Ward, St. Dunstan's in the East, recorded his pedigree, and arms of " Paly
of six, argent and gules, on a chief sable three lozenges or." He was then a
widower, s. p. s. and of the age of 35 years ; but had had to wife Anne, daughter of
Richard Cleaver, of Norton, co. Herts, granddaughter and coheir it seems (with
her sister Philadelphia, wife of John Sayer, Esq. of the Inner Temple) of Richard
Cleaver, Esq. senior, lord of the manor of Norton aforesaid, and widow of
Courteen, Esq. of London ; which lady had died 6 June 1684, and been buried
with heraldic honours under the superintendence of Russell the undertaker ; the
arms of Burren being used, as already described. Her arms are doubtful ; but her
only child was named
I. Anne, and died an infant in or before August 1687.
The record of Anthony Burren's pedigree bears date at Bakers' Hall, Harp Lane,
Wednesday 3rd Aug. 1687. In the following March he married, as mentioned in
the text, Susanna Hodilow, and had a numerous family by her ; the majority of
which children were baptized at St. Dunstan's in the East. In consequence, how-
ever, of this connection, he subsequently removed to Hampstead, and he, and his
immediate progeny, lived, died, and were buried there, as noticed above.

1. Elizabeth Burren, bapt. 1 Feb. 1688 at St. Dunstan's
in the East. Of her there is no further record.
2. Mary Barren, baptized at tiie said church 8tli Sept.
1691 ; who dying young was buried there 31st October
1691.
3. Susanna Burren, senior of the coheiresses in 1739.
This lady was baptized at St. Dunstan's in the East 20th
Oct. 1692, and was the only child who married. On the
26th Sept. 1728, she was married at Hampstead, (by licence
granted 24th September at the Bishop of London's Office,
Doctors' Commons,) to Mr. William Barry, of the sign of
the Golden Fleece, Fleet Street, St. Dunstan's in the West,
London, woollen draper, citizen, and a member of the
Haberdashers' Company of London, by purchase, dated
17th March 1709. This William Barry was born in 1685,
settled in London about 1708, purchased freehold property
in the metropolis, and was a widower at the time of his
marriage with Susan Burren ; though his first wife's name
is unrecorded. He was connected with a family of Saint
John ; and on very strong presumptive evidence was di-
rectly descended from the attainted family of Barry feudal
Baron of Rincorran, co. Cork, in the kingdom of Ireland,
which forfeited its estates in the time of the Irish Rebel-
lion, 1641-2. f By this gentleman (who died intestate, set.
f Philip Barry, Feudal Baron of Ri.vcorran, near Kinsale, co. Cork,
(directly descended from Philip Barry of Rincorran, who was summoned to Parlia-
ment as a Baron in 1302, SOth Edw. I.) forfeited his estates in the Irish Rebellion
1641-2, -which were conferred on the Southwell family after the Restoration. Philip
Barry was alive, however, in 1656, though greatly reduced ; and had issue a son
William Barry, who also lived in reduced circumstances, but married and
had issue. His wife was no doubt Barnet ; grand-aunt or aunt of Mary,
Joane, and Margaret Bamet, who are mentioned as cousins in the will of Elinor
Barry hereafter mentioned in 1712-13. His son
Philip Barry, grandson of the attainted Lord of Rincorran, became a follower
of Mac Carty of Carbery it appears, and thus succeeded in marrying into that noble
house. He espoused Elinor, daughter of Charles Mac Carty Reagh of Kilbritten,
CO. Cork, Colonel in the Army, sister not only of Ellen, wife of John de Courcy,
21st Lord Kinsale (and thus aunt of Almerick Lord Kinsale), but likewise sister of
Catharine, wife of Piercy Saint John, Esq. of Culedonnell, co. Cork, and aunt of
her children, Piercy, Charles, and Ellen Saint John ; in consequence of which re-
lationship it seems, " Saint John'' remained a baptismal name in the family de-
scended from WilliaiQ Barry, of Fleet Street, who married Susan Burren.
62 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW OF
about 58, 27th May 1743, and was buried at Hampstead)
Susanna Burren, who administered to his effects June 1743,
in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and dying his
widow 19th March 1745-6, was buried beside him at
Hampstead, had issue,
1. William Barry, eventually heir general of the
Burrens, Hodilows, and Pychefords. He was born 13th
Aug. 1739, and baptized 27th Aug. 1729, at St. Dun-
stan's in the West, London. He was brought up to the
Philip Barry is known to have had issue by his said wife ; but with him all re-
corded pedigrees of his family terminate : which is supposed to have been caused by
the consequences of the declining fortunes of his family. It is, however, almost
certain that he is identifiable with one Philip Barry who was living very aged, and
pursuing the humble occupation of a cooper in the south suburbs of Cork in 1712.
This person had issue,
I, John Barry, who was latterly of Blarney Lane, St. Mary's Shandon parish,
Cork city, and died v. p. in or before December 1704; when Grace his widow
administered to his effects in the Consistory Court of Cork. He had issue
1. William Barry, of whom presently.
2. Philip Barry, living 1712,
1. Mary Barry, baptized at St. Mary's Shandon, Cork, 30 Jan. 1687.
I. Elinor Barry, of the south suburbs of Cork, who made her will 5th February
1712-3, mentioning, inter alios, her cousins Barnet ; and dying unmarried soon
after, it was proved 1712-3 in the Consistory Court of Cork.
IL Juliana Barry, wife of Walsh 1712-3.
IIL Margaret Barry, married to Thomas Sullivan, of Blarney Lane, Cork.
brogue maker. Both of them were alive in 1712-3.
William Barry (son of John and grandson of Philip) is proved to have been
living in 1712; and on the following strong presumptive evidence was William
Barry of Fleet Street, London, who married the coheiress of Burren : 1st. The said
William Barry, of Fleet Street, was born in 1685, and by the baptismal register of
Mary Barry, it is clear that John Barry's other children were born about that year ;
but her's is the only one recorded at St. Mary's Shandon, Cork, which makes it
probable that the baptismal register of one William, son of John and Dorothy
Barry, which occurs at St. Bride's, Dublin, 14th Aug. 1685, refers to the said
William, as it is known not to relate to the Dublin Barrys. If this be the case,
John Barry must have been twice married.
2ndly. Though William Barry, of Fleet Street is known by unquestionable tra-
ditions to have descended from a noble house, after investigation of an unusually
laborious and extensive nature, Barry of Rincorran alone affords a person identifi-
able with him.
3rdly. William Barry, of Fleet Street, was connected with a family of St. John,
and the relationship of the Barrys of Rincorran with a family of that name has
already been shown. This fact, and their marrying into a "Barnet" family,
which surname was afterwards assumed by William, son of him of Fleet Street,
almost stamp this presumption with proof.
Barry of Rincorran bore, " Barry of six, argent and gules.''

medical profession, and went abroad, for the purpose
(it is believed) of taking his degree of M.D. in a con-
tinental university, which, however, he never prose-
cuted ; but returned to England, assumed the name of
"Barnet," and was twice married: first, on the 3rd Oc-
tober 1760, by licence, at Easingwold, co. York, to Anne,
only daughter of Richard Bayley, of Easingwold, sister
and sole heiress of John Bayley, of Easingwold, who
by his will, dated 27th March 1780, devised the mass of
his estate there to the senior issue of the above marriage
on condition of taking the name of " Bayley." This mar-
riage produced only two surviving children : 1st. William
Batchelor Baknet, afterwards Bayley, Esq. of Eller-
beck and Easingwold, M.D. and banker at North Allerton,
CO. York, a Deputy Lieut, for the North Riding, born 16
July 1762, (whose pedigree is detailed in vol. I. p. 331-2) :
and 2nd. Saint John Barnet, who married, as mentioned
in that pedigree, and had two sons and three daughters ;
viz. 1st. William Barnet, who died a minor and unmar-
ried; 2nd. Henry Barnet, now a surgeon in extensive
practice at Blackheath, Kent, (who married Eliza, daugh-

66 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW, OF
tenth son of Arthur Hodilow, of Grafton Underwood ; and the
fourth and youngest by his second wife, Lady Susan Humfrey,
widow of Sir Thomas Humfrey, of Swebston, Knt. and daughter
of George Pilkington, Esq. of Stanton le Dale, in Derbyshire,
and Barston, in Leicestershire. This Anthony Hodilow was his
mother's favourite son, and is appointed her executor in her will
1663-4.
He had settled in London, in the flax trade, and married
widow of Waldoe, mother of James "Waldoe, gent.
and whose deceased husband was closely related to Sir Edward
Waldoe, of Pinner, in Middlesex, Knt. (whose daughter and
eldest coheiress Grace married first Sir Nicholas Wolslenholme,
Bart, and secondly William Lord Hunsdon,) and Timothy
Waldoe, brother of which Sir Edward, was grandfather of Sir
Timothy Waldoe, of Hever, in Kent, Knt. The Waldoes were
then a very good family, and were established in England temp.
Elizabeth by one of the name, who had migrated hither from
France, to escape the persecution of the Duke D' Alva ; and he
w.is descended from the renowned Peter Waldo, a merchant at
Lyons, who, applying himself to Theology, founded the sect
called the " Waldenses," in the twelfth century. The arms of
the Waldoes were, " Or, a bend azure between three leopard's
heads gules ; " but the writer has been quite unable to ascertain
the maiden name of Mrs. Anthony Hodilow.^' Anthony Hodi-
low, having administered to the effects of his brother Henry in
1696-7, made his will 11th May 1711, leaving his property
equally between his children ; speaks of his late wife, and leaves
her son James Waldoe one shilling. He appoints his two sons
^ Sir Edward Waldoe had another brother, who resided at Harrow, in Middlesex ;
and it is not impossible that he was the first husband of Mrs. Hodilow. A James
Waldoe, Esq. was buried at Harrow 1756, (? Mrs. Hodilow's son,) as was also Sir
Edward Waldoe 1707 ; and a Charles Waldoe, Esq. in 1790. Vide Lysons' London,
vol. ii. pp. 574 — 579. A Mr. Isaac Waldoe, before the year 1773, gave " a silver
chalice for the use of sick persons in private houses who should be desirous to re-
ceive the holy sacrament," to the church of AUhallows, Bread Street. Vide Mal-
colm's Lond. Rediv. vol. ii. p. 15.
See a brief and imperfect notice of the Waldoe family in Hasted's Kent, vol. i.
pp. 248, 397. The writer has used every endeavour to discover a pedigree of the
family; but it does not appear that anything save "scraps and patches" are in
existence, relative to the Waldoes. Of the celebrated Peter Waldo, of Lyons,
>vhom the family represent as their founder, and who died in 1179, see an account
in Chalmers' Biographical Dictionary, vol. xxx. p. 489.

executors, and dying soon after, they proved the will in the
Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 8th June 1711. By his said
wife he left issue,
I. Thomas Hodilow, his heir.
II. John Hodilow, heir to his brother.
I. Elizabeth Hodilow, married first, v. p., to Mr. John
Crispe, or Cripps, a member of the numerous Middlesex and
Kentish family of the name, who bore, " Argent, on a chev-
ron sable five horseshoes or." He was her husband in 1711,
and had by her James Crispe and Frances Crispe, mentioned
in the will of Thomas Hodilow 1725. She married secondly,
in or before 1725, one Mr. John Seagood, (" Azure, two bars
wavy ermine between three hands erect argent; ") and they
were living, husband and wife, 1725 and 1727.
II. Katharine Hodilow, unmarried 1711, who wedded, be-
fore or in 1725, Mr. James Lumley. Lumley of Middlesex
bore, " Argent, a fesse gules between three parrots proper,
collared of the second ; " — the same coat as the great Northern
Lumleys, whose high nobility it is needless to notice here.
Thomas Hodilow, elder son and heir, was of age 1711, and
made his will 8th Dec. 1725, styling himself of " Thames Street,
London, yeoman." He leaves to his sister Elizabeth Seagood,
for life, his farm at Little Cornall, in Suffolk ; after her death,
the same to go to his nephews John and Thomas Hodilow, and
their heirs, in fee. To his sister Katharine Lumley he leaves
his lands at Sudbury, in Suffolk, for life ; after her death, the
same to descend to his niece Elizabeth Hodilow. He mentions
also his niece Frances Crispe, James Crispe, &c. and his cousin
Mr. Edwardes; as well as James Waldoe, gent, his (testator's)
brother ; and the wife of the said James Waldoe. He appoints his
sisters, Seagood and Lumley, executrixes ; and dying soon after,
s. p., they, by the respective descriptions of " Elizabeth, wife of
John Seagood," and •' Katharine, wife of James Lumley,"
proved his will in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 5th Jan.
1725-6.
John Hodilow, his brother, thereupon became his heir at
law. He was a citizen and girdler of London ; but only sur-
vived his brother about two years. He married a lady named
Hannah, but of what family is unknown; and made his will, 27
Nov. 1727, meniicning his three children, and bequeaths to them

divers articles, specifying his silver snuff-box, and tobacco-box ;
his silver buckles, and frold ring. He leaves his real property to
his wife, and appoints her sole executrix. Will attested by John
Seagood and others. Proved in C. P. C. by Hannah Hodilow,
widow, and executrix, 14th Feb. 1727-8. They had issue, two
sons and one daughter,
I. John Hodilow. II. Thomas Hodilow. Both living
1725 and 1727, when they had the remainder and reversion
of the Little Cornall estate, co. Suffolk, left them by their
uncle Thomas Hodilow.
I. Elizabeth Hodilow, who had the remainder and rever-
sion of the Sudbury estate, co. Suffolk, left her by her uncle
Thomas, in 1725, and was alive in 1727.
John Hodilow, the eldest son of John, became heir of the
family at his father's death. Every endeavour, however, to as-
certain the destinies of him, his brother, and sister, the last sur-
vivors of the house of Hodilow, has been made, but unsuccess-
fully. Nothing is known, or recollected of them, where their
estates were situate in Suffolk. The Prerogative Court of Can-
terbury has in vain been searched for their wills, &c. ; and it
is probable that the only clue to intelligence of them would be
through their existing representatives.
So much for the elder house of Hodilow. We now proceed
to the younger branch, who, though highly respectable, were
only substantial farmers and yeomen.
Hodilow of Histon and Impington, in Cambridgeshire.
John Hodilow, of Histon, in Cambridgeshire, second son
of the settler in England, and brother of Robert Hodilow, of
Chettisham, ancestor of the family we have just ceased treating
of, lived in the early part of Henry the Eighth's reign, and
held freehold and copyhold lands at Histon. He occurs as a
witness to the will of Margaret Raven, of Histon, dated 4th Feb.
1520, and also attests that of Richard Steward, of Histon, dated
Dec. 20, 1541. (These wills being both proved in the Regis-
try of the Bishop of Ely at Cambridge. Vide Cole's MSS. vol.
Ix. Add. MSS. Brit. Mus. No. 5861.) John Hodilow, of His-
ton, made his own will, 10th April 1542, " hole of mynde and
of good remembraunce/' but " seeke in bodye." Bequeaths his

soul to God ; and twelve pence to his ghostly father i'or his
paynes ; 3s. and id. to the reparation of Hislon church. To his
wife, the house he bought of Thomas Fowler, and the land per-
taining to the same, for the term of her life ; remainder to his
daughters, equally to be divided betwixt them. Also to his wife
his copyhold estate, held of the " other lordship^' for life, remain-
der to William his son. All his household stuff to his wife, his
best horse, one couple of oxen, and three '*' mylche beasts," ten
ewes, ten lambs, and six lamb hoggs, to his wife. To William,
his son, the house he (testator) dwelt in, and the land belonging
thereto ; as well as his freehold land in Chesterton Fields. \'ari-
ous cattle, and his implements of husbandry, to William his son.
Legacies, chiefly of cattle, to his four daughters and to his ser-
vants. His wife and William, his son, residuary legatees, and
the latter executor. Witnesses, Syr Robert Chykering, Vycar,
Henry Mounsey, John Stuard the elder, Thomas Sterne, and
William Hall ; whom the testator constituted supervisors. He
died soon after, and his will was proved at Cambridge, in the
Registry of the Bishop of Ely, 22 April 1542. He had married
before 1.520, though his wife's name is unrecorded, and left issue
by her, one son and four daughters,
I. William Hodilow, his heir, of whom presently.
I. Emma Hodilow.
II. Joane Hodilow.
III. Katharine Hodilow.
IV. Elizabeth Hodilow.
All of whom are legatees in their fathei^'s will 1542, and
also in that of their uncle Robert Hodilow, of Chettisham,
Jan. 1540-1 ; who also mentions their father to be his brother.
William Hodilow, of Histon, only son and heir, was born
in or before 1521, being of age 1542, when he proved his father's
will. This person is known to have married, and left issue;
but the parish register of Histon not extending to the period at
which he lived, details of his issue are not known. Nevertheless
he had one son (probably among others, but if so, they and their
progeny have long since passed away), viz.
I. John Hodilow. This
John Hodilow removed to Impington near Cambridge, and
receives mention, ivs " cousin,^' in the will of Joseph Hodilow, of
70 THE FAMILY OF HODILOW OF
Cambridge, 1585. See ante. He, John, was twice married:
first, before 1576, to Anne , who dying, was buried at
Impington Sept. 1589. By her he had,
I. Robert Hodilow, heir to his father.
II. William Hodilow, baptized April 1581, at Impington;
and buried the same month and year also at Impington.
III. Thomas Hodilow, baptized Jan. 1585-6, buried there
Jan. 1586-7.
IV. William Hodilow, second so christened. He died
young, and was buried at Impington 1586.
I. Beatrice Hodilow, baptized Dec. 1578 at Impinijton,
married there, 5th May 1603, to Robert Matthew, or May-
thew: and both of them were living 1614.
' o
After the decease of his first wife, John Hodilow married se-
condly, at Impington, Jan. 1589-90, Margaret Stokes, alias
Scott, of Histon and Impington ; who was apparently sister to
John Scott, of Histon, and William Scott, of Sellson, co. Cam-
bridge. Attaining a good old age, John Hodilow made his will,
being sick, 20th Aug. in the 7th year of his " dread Sofrayne "
James I. (1609.) He leaves pecuniary legacies and household
furniture to his children then living, and appoints Margaret, his
wife, executrix. He republished his will 10th August 1614;
mentions his copyhold lands in Impington, and, among others, a
close called Burrow-field, the crop of all which lands, save Bur-
row-field, he leaves to Margaret his wife, leaving that crop to his
son Robert to pay the lord's fee on his admittance. He dying,
was buried at Impington, 3rd Oct. 1617 ; will proved 8th Nov.
1617, in the Consistory Court of the Bishop of Ely. By Mar-
garet his second wife, who survived him, he had further issue,
sons and daughters,
V. Henry Hodilow, of whom hereafter, as successor at
Impington to Robert his half-brother,
VI. Edward Hodilow, baptized at Impington, March 1605;
living there 1614, and buried there 17th June 1622, unmarried^
II. Mary Hodilow, baptized at Impington, August 1598 ;
living unmarried 1614; but married there, 12th Jan. 1616, to
John Kn . . . (? Knapp,) of Alx . . . ton, in Essex.
III. Alice Hodilow, baptized at Impington, Dec. 1602,
livh)g unmarried 1614. She espoused, 24th Feb. 1626, John
CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ESSEX, &C. 7l
Chaplin, of Impington, of a very respectable old Cambridge-
shire family, and had by him a very numerous posterity.
IV. Jane Hodilovv, baptized at Impington, Nov. 1608, liv-
ing unmarried 1614. Of her nothing further is known.
Robert Hodii.ow, of Impington, eldest son and heir of
John, by his first wife, was baptized at Impington, June 1576;
and succeeded to his father's copyhold lands there 1617 ; being
a legatee in his father's will 1614. He, however, died s. p. £et.
60, (and probably a bachelor,) and was buried at Impington,
3rd June 1636.
Henry Hodilow, of Impington, his half-brother, and son
of John Hodilow by his second wife, then became representative
of the family. He was baptized at Impington, Nov. 1595 ; living
1614, and was twice married. First, before 1619, to Elizabeth
, by whom he had several children ; of whom presently.
He wedded secondly at Impington, 25 March 1659, Mary
Spencer, of that place ; but by her, who dying, was buried there
26th July 1664, he, not surviving her a month, had no issue-
He was buried at Impington, 14th August 1G64.
Henry Hodilow made his will 4th Aug. 1664 (16th Car. II.)
on his deathbed. He names no children, all apparently being
deceased ; but leaves to his grandchildren. He appears to have
been a person of strong religious feelings; and, though a farmer,
evidently a man of worth. He appoints Rowland Pateman, of
Histon, in Cambridgeshire, his executor; and dying soon after-
wards, his will was proved, 30th August 1664, in the Registry
of the Bishop of Ely. He had had issue by his first wife,
I. John Hodilow, baptized at Impington 27th June 1619.
He died young, and was buried there 30th Aug. 1620.
II. John Hodilow (second so christened), baptized at Imp-
ington, 23rd Jan, 1624; who was married there, v. p. 24th
June 1650, to Elizabeth Chiseman, Cisseman, or Clieeseman,
of a numerous family at Impington. He died 23rd Dec. 1658,
V. p., leaving by her, who died 23rd Feb. 1660, only two
daughters, his coheiresses.
1. Alice Hodilow. 2. Elizabeth Hodilow, of whom
hereafter.
III. William Hodilow, bapt. at Impington, 30th Sept. 1627*
He died in his youth, and was interred there 21st April 1639.
72 THE FAMILY OF HODtLOW.
IV. Thomas Hodilovv, baptized at the same place, 20th
Dec. 1629; but, dying young, was buried there 22nd Feb.
1629-30.
I. Anna Hodilow, baptized at Impington, 25th April 1621.
She was married to Pateman (? Rowland Pateman, of
Histon, in Cambridgeshire), by whom she had two daughters,
Alice and Anne Pateman, both minors in 1 664.
Alice Hodilow and Elizabeth Hodilow, sole daughters
and coheirs of Henry Hodilow, became co-representatives of the
family on the death of their grandfather John Hodilow in 1664,
who, however, leaves them a mere trifle by his will, bequeathing
the bulk of his property to the Patemans. Alice Hodilow was
baptized at Impington, 11th May 1651 : — Elizabeth Hodilow was
born 13th June 1656; and they are the last of this family of
Hodilow of whom there is any record. Whether they married
or not, is unknown ; but it is certain that they were not buried,
under the name of Hodilow, at Impington. This branch of the
Hodilows, though mere farmers, were highly respectable, and
constantly appear as churchwardens of Impington during the
period of their residence there.

GENEALOGICAL ADDITIONS TO THE HISTORY OF STOCKTON
UPON TEES.
There can be no doubt that it is as much the duty of the
historian of a town, as of a county, to detail the genealogy as
well as the topography of his district. The chief families in a
town are necessarily of as much importance there, as are in a
county its leading aristocracy, and sometimes of infinitely greater
weight and influence. Still how very few town historians enter
upon pedigrees. They think it no labour to narrate the most
trifling events, and describe the most insignificant estates and
edifices, while they scarcely ever trouble the reader with two
generations of a family together. If an eminent man be born
in the place, he is merely noticed as a native ; but as for informa-
tion on his ancestry or posterity, it must not be searched for
there.
Brewster's History of Stockton upon Tees is an excellent
work, but falls within the above description; though perhaps
it contains more scattered genealogical intelligence than many
other works of the same pretensions. The following compila-
tions, however, may be found some addition to its genealogical
contents ; » for though imperfect they are original.
During the last three centuries the most noted families in
Stockton were
1st. The BuRDONs. This family was ascendant even in the
reign of Edward IV., and continued so during the 16th and
17th centuries. It furnished as many mayors, perhaps, as any
family in the borough ; and owned several spacious houses in the
place. Its pedigree is detailed in Surtees' Durham and Burke's
Commoners, the family having purchased Castle Eden in 1758,
and become seated there. The following points, however, may
• The writer of this article possesses an ancient MS. volume (formerly the pro-
perty of John Russell Rowntree, Esq. and previously of the Bunting family), on the
Antiquities and Topography of Stockton on Tees. Brewster's History does not in-
clude its contents ; nor is it known that any of the above matter appears in Brewster.

increase the information given regarding the younger branch,
which merged in Webster.
Henry Burdon of Stockton, mariner, (brother of the an-
cestor of the Castle Eden branch,) bought tenements in Stock-
ton of James Kitching 1692, by indenture of feoffment. He
married Elizabeth , made his will 1712, appointing his
nephew, the Rev. Rowland Burdon, his executor, and died the
same year it seems, as the probate of his will bears the same date.
By his said wife he left a son,
Rowland Burdon, who succeeded his father, and married
Mary, daughter of Lackenby. He made his will 1775,
proved 1778, and died leaving an only child,
Mary Burdon, his sole heiress, who married William Web-
ster, Esq. of Whitby, co. York, and had issue.
The ancient mansion of the Burdons was that old house in
the borough of Stockton, known as the " Blue Posts." They
subsequently owned a spacious house (afterwards, it is believed,
the property of W. Hylton Longstaff) with the date 164..
upon it. But the former had been in their family from the time
of Henry VII.
2nd. The Lamberts. This family obtained a grant of coat
armour of " Gules, a chevron ermine between three lambs pas-
sant argent," and flourished temp. Jac. I.
Thomas Lambert, to whom Ralph Bunting surrendered
copyholds within Stockton manor, 2nd April, 39 Eliz. was mayor
of Stockton 1616 and 1625. He was styled " Senior" in 10 Car. I.
and appears to have had issue five sons,
I who died v. p. leaving an only child.
1. Anne Lambert, grand-daughter and heiress to Tho-
mas, as appears by copy of Court Roll dated 17 July, 19
Car. I. She was a borough-holder of Stockton in 1647.
II. Thomas, a borough-holder in 1647.
III. Richard Lambert, living temp. Car. I,
IV. William Lambert, living temp. Car. I.
V. John Lambert, who kept a bakehouse in Stockton 1647.
One of these persons was no doubt father of that
Lambert, mariner, who married Isabel, widow of
John Bunting of S. before 1674. There was also a
Thomas Lambert, of Stockton, whitesmith, in 1830, no
doubt a descendant of the old stock.

3rd. The Wetherells.
Rowland Wetherell was mayor of Stockton 1619-20. He
appears to have been father of
I. Giles W. of whom presently.
I Wetherell (sister of Giles), wife of Mar-
wood, ancestor of Marwood of Busby. See that pedigree in
Graves's Cleveland.
Giles Wetherell was mayor of Stockton 1637. " The
widow Wetherell " (no doubt his relict) held a burgage in Stock-
ton 1647 ; and their son was probably
Thomas Wetherell, who held another burgage there at the
same period, 1647.
William Wetherell was also of Middleton St. Georse, co.
Durham, gent, in 1683. There was a
John Wetherell of Stockton in 1748. A
Nathan Wetherell of the same place in 1760. (Nathan
was the name of Sir Charles Wetherell's father.)
Wetherell, brought up by his aunt, a Miss Mary
Peacock, was of Stockton, wine merchant, about 1800. He mar-
ried .... daughter of ... . Ward, of the N. R. co. York, by
his wife, a sister of ... , Castell of London, and by her had
issue an only daughter and heiress, wife of Thomas Ayres, of
Stockton, surgeon, afterwards of the same place wine-merchant.
She died leaving issue now living.
4th, Bambriggs, or Bainbridges.
John Bambrigg, mayor of Stockton in 1559-61-62, founded
the family.
Robert Bambrigg, the next of them, was dead in 1647. He
married Mary , who, surviving him, married secondly
Thomas Goldsborough, alias Colsbrough, who, in her and
her son's right, held freehold lands in Stockton, as appears
by a " Livery sued out of the Chancery " by Robert Bambrigg,
12 Feb. 9 Car. I. Thomas Goldsborough was alive 1662j Ro-
bert Bambrigg and Mary had issue
I. Robert B., of whom presently. There was also a
L Margery Bambrigg of Stockton about 1647.
Robert Bambrigg was a borough-holder of Stockton in
1647, and living in 1660. He usually wrote his name " Bain-
bridge," and was probably father or grandfather of that
Joseph Bainbridge, of Stockton, who married Elizabeth

beginning of the 18th century.
5th. The Swainstons.
William Swainston, mayor of Stockton in 1622, conveyed
copyholds within Stockton manor, 13 March, 7 Car. I. to John
Swainston. He was alive in 1646, and had evidently two sons.
I. John, of whom presently.
II. Anthony, who acquired copyholds in S. 24 March, 7
Car. I. from "William S. and 31 July, 14 Car. I. from John
S. He was living in 1660-2; and there directly proceeded
from him
I. Nicholas S. living 1706 and 1718. He was a bene-
factor to the Blue Coat Charity School, but died s. p.
I wife of Richard Bowlby, of Stockton, by whom
she had a son, who succeeded his uncle Nicholas S. as ne-
phew and heir.
John Swainston, of Stockton, living 7 Car. I. appears to
have been also alive in 1658. With a daughter Elizabeth, wife
of Rowland Burdon, Esq. mayor temp. Car. I. he appears to
have had a son.
John Swainston, styled "Junior" in 1658, and living
1662. He had issue
Marmaduke Swainston, his son and heir in a burgage
in Stockton before 1743. This gentleman was not improbably
the Mr. Swainston who married the daughter and heiress of
John Allan of the Blackwell family ; and there was a
John Swainston in 1760 at Stockton, in all probability their
son.
6th. The Kitchings.
William Kitching received a lease from Toby Bishop of
Durham 20 Sept. 2 Jac. I.
Thomas Kitching suiTendered copyholds within Stockton
manor (in which town he then resided) 28 Feb. 13 Car. I. to
Robert Burdon.
William Kitching was of Stockton 1647, and in 1658 of
Norton. William Kitching had issue a son
William Kitching, father of
Grace, who married and had issue
Elizabeth who married Anthony Smith of Har-

tlepool, merchant. He was dead 1729; and she, who
was aged 60 in 1744, died in 1762.
James Kitching, of the city of York, tinner, sold tenements
in Stockton by indenture of feoffment, 1692, to Henry Burdon
of Stockton, mariner, ancestor of the Websters.
Samuel and William Kitching held land at Carlton and
Faceby near Stockton, about the same time or not long after; and
there is a monumental inscription to one of the family in old
Chelsea churchyard of more modern date. The last of the family
at Stockton was a very respectable female who kept a school ;
but she left the neighbourhood some years ago, (about 1835.)
7th. The Fowlers or Fewlers. This was one of the most
numerous families in the town.
William Fowler, living temp. Jac. I. a copyholder at Stock-
ton, had a son,
I. jVI atthew, his heir ; also probably
II. Roger Fowler, who acquired copyholds in Stockton, by
surrender from Nicholas Fleatham, 20 Oct. 10 Jac. I. He
was also a borough-holder in 1647, and owned freeholds in the
parish by knight-service, which were detained from him by
Thomas Goldsborough. Rog. Fewler was alive in 1662.
III. John Fowler, who owned a burgage 1647. He is styled
" Senior." There was a
1. John Fowler "junior," 1647.
IV. Ralph, a borough-holder 1647.
V. William, a borough-holder 1647, and alive 1660-2.
Matthew Fowler was son and heir of William, 3rd June,
5 Car. I. as appears by copy of Court Roll of that date.
Robert Fowler, the next of them, had a son
I. Robert, his heir ; no doubt also
II. William Fowler of S. circa 1730.
There was also a
III. Francis Fewler, who died before 1740, devising part of
a burgage to Elizabeth Whorlton ; and
IV. John Fewler, who had a sister
I. Frances Coats living before 1743. There was an
II. Isabell Fewler before 1740; and an
III. Elizabeth F. who had a sister
IV. Anne Parkinson, about 1730,
78 GENEALOGICAL ADDITIONS TO THE
Robert Fowler acquired, before 1743, a burgage in Stock-
ton, as son and heir of Robert. Tliere was a
Captain Jonathan Fowler of Stockton, mariner, in 1780,
or thereabouts, of whom Brewster's History contains a me-
moir.
The family subsequently lived in the great house in the High
Street, since that of John Barker, Esq. and it is now (it is be-
lieved) represented by
Marshall Fowler (late Robinson) Esq, of Preston upon
Tees, near Stockton, who took their name. He married a
daughter of the late .... Stapylton, Esq. of Norton.
8th. The Scurfields. This family, though rather of Crim-
don House, co. Durham, than of Stockton, was long concerned
in the parish.
William Scurfield, or Scirfield, together with George
and Katharine S. received from Richard, Bishop of Durham, a
lease dat. 10 October, 18 Jac. I.
Mr. William Scourfield had lands near Yarm Lane (a
street in Stockton) in 1683, which were afterwards John Dale's.
George Scurfield, of Crimdon House, living about 1728,
had a daughter Mary, married to Hutchinson of Whitton House
(see that family), and one or more sons; and from him it ap-
pears sprang the celebrated Scurfield of Newcastle on Tyne,
the chemist.
John Scurfield lived in No. 1, Paradise Row, Stockton, in
1760 : and either his wife or his mother was a near relative of
Capt. Reynolds who erected that house. The family also matched
with Marshall, it is stated, through which they became allied to
Lamb. At length
Joanna Scurfield, the heiress of the family (daughter of
Mr. Scurfield by his wife Miss Booker) married William Grey,
Esq. of Norton, formerly of Stockton, solicitor. Their second
son
L J. George Scurfield, Esq. took that name in lieu of
Grey. He is the present representative of the family ; he resided
sometime at Hardwick Hall, co. Durham, but afterwards at New-
bus ; and married Ann-Alice, daughter of the Rev. Rob. Hopper
Williamson, of Hurworth, co. Durham. (See that family in
Burke's Commoners.)
HISTORY OF STOCKTON UPON TEES, 79
9th, The Wrights.
William Wright surrendered copyholds within Stockton
manor 43 Eliz. to
Robert Wright, who, if not identifiable with, was ances-
tor of
Robert Wright, of Stockton, in 1(»60.
Thomas Wright and Bathsheba his wife, of Stockton, were
living circa 1730 ; and about the same time lived
Thomas Wright of Stockton, who married Isabel, widow of
William Corney of that place, and acquired tenements there by
her. A Thomas Wright was also living there in 1760.
The first organist of Stockton old church was a Mr, Wright ;
and he was father of
Thomas Wright his successor in that appointment. This
gentleman was a good extempore organ-player, and an ingenious
mechanic ; he married a daughter of Foxton, of Stockton.
This lady wrote a novel entitled " A marvellous pleasant love
story," for the express purpose of satirizing the Stockton people
of that day. She also wrote an opera, for which her husband
composed music. With a daughter, they had issue a son,
Thomas Wright, Esq. of Wakefield, M.D. living in 1830.
10th. The Harperleys. This family was connected with the
last, temp. Jac. I. not only by marriage, but subsequently by the
crime of incest, for which penance was done at Norton church
(see Brewster), Stockton being then part of Norton parish.
Anthony Harperley, a copyholder within Stockton manor
temp. Jac. I. left as his successor in his tenements there,
John Harperley, admitted thereto as heir 1 April, 17 Jac. I.
He was living 1617 and 10 Car. I. being styled " Senior" in
both years. He appears to have had issue,
I. Thomas, of whom presently.
II. John, living 10 Car. I. and in 1660-2.
Thomas Harperley, to whom John Harperley surrendered
copyholds 16 Car. I. was living 1660. A Jane H. widow (no
doubt his relict) was living 1662, with a son named after himself,
Thomas Harperley, an infant in 1662, Mark Wapps be-
ing his guardian. He was no doubt the Harperley dead in 1743,
who left a widow named Magdalen, and by her a son
Thomas Harperley, who held a burgage in Stockton with
his mother about or before 1738.
80 GENEALOGICAL ADDITIONS TO THE
11th. The Herrons.
Matthew Heron, or Heruon, held a burgage in Stockton
1647.
John Hereon had a son
William Herron, who, as William Herron " Senior,"
owned part of a burgage acquired h'om his father before 1T40 ;
probably also
Peter Herron, who was dead 1743, but left a son
William Herron, who as W. H. " Junr," inherited part
of a burgage from his father before 1743.
12th. The Hartes. The first of note was
William Harte, of Stockton, yeoman, mayor in 1624, 1627,
1628, and living for some years after, contemporary with a Tho-
mas Harte, probably his younger brother. William Harte had
only two daughters, his coheiresses,
I. Jane Harte, married before 1649, to John Atkinson of
Stockton, merchant. (See that family.)
II. Elizabeth Harte, married before 1649 to Leonard Cal-
vert of Stockton, clothworker, and living his widow 1675.
There was a Leonard Calvert living in 1662, and a William
Calvert in 1744. An agreement, dated 2nd Feb. 1649, occurs
between Leonard Calvert and John Atkinson.
13th. The Wapps^s.
John Wapps surrendered copyholds 14 Oct. 10 Car. 1, to
Richard Wapps, whose father was
James Wapps, probably brother to the said John. James
was dead in the 23 Car. I. and left issue two sons,
I. Richard Wapps, already mentioned.
II. Mark Wapps, to whom his brother Richard surrendered
copyholds 6th May, 13 Car. Land was living in 1660.
Richard Wapps, who succeeded his father, was admitted to
his copyholds, it appears, on the 6th May, 23 Car. I.
14th. The Coats's.
Brian Coats was a borough-holder in 1647; as was
Roger Coats in the same year. He had issue two sons
I. Anthony Coats, his heir.
II. Thomas Coats. Both were living anterior to 1739.
There was also a
in. William Coats living about the same time, and a
HISTORY OF STOCKTON UPON TEES. 81
IV. John Coats, who left a daughter Elizabeth, wife of
Walter Marshall.
15th. The Watsons.
Thomas Watson, mayor in 1623-34-39- 46-7- 53-6, held
freehold lands in Stockton under a deed poll dated 26 April, 6
Car. I. from Thomas Burdon. He was alive in 1660, and ap-
pears to have had a daughter Alice, wife of the Rev. Thomas
Rudd, the first Vicar of Stockton, and a son,
John Watson, of Stockton, living in 1744. He had a daugh-
ter Mary, married to William Sutton (ancestor of Sutton of El-
ton), and also, it would seem, a son
Thomas Watson, of Stockton in 1729-32, and 1744. It
appears that there was a partnership between Sutton and Wat-
son, during the 18th century, but the nature of their business has
not been ascertained.
16th. TheCooKES; a very considerable family at Stockton.
They are said to have owned the mansion at the south end of
the town, near the site of Stockton Castle. Their house is
now divided into two tenements. They were merchants.
James Cooke, mayor of Stockton 1640-3, held a freehold
estate there, which he acquired by deed poll of 14 Dec. 13 Car. !•
from John Osborne. On the 19th May, 12 Car. I. Anthony
Stevenson surrendered copyholds near Stockton manor house to
him ; and at his death his property descended to another
James Cooke, no doubt his son. His name occurs as mayor
in 1669-74-5-85-6-93-98, 1703-1710. He m.ade his will 29
Dec. 1702, leaving 100/. to the almshouses; and died, having
had issue two sons and a daughter.
I. John Cooke, mayor in 1717-21, who died insolvent
about June 1725, without having paid the charitable bequest
of his father.
II. James Cooke, heir to his brother and father. He was
living 27 Nov. 1732, as appears by a deed of that date, and
also in 1744. From him it appeal's proceeded the heiress
of the family, who became the second wife of George Crowe of
Stockton, gent. (See that family.)
I. Lucy Cooke, mariied to Dalston, Esq. of Acorn-
bank, CO. Westmorland, and Jiving his widow in 1732.
VOL. II. G
82 GENEALOGICAL ADDITIONS TO THE
17th. The Osbounes. Nothing is known of this family be-
yond the facts, that Cooke bought freehold lands of it in 13th
Car. I. and that there were two John Osbornes, a senior and
junior, in 164T.
I8th. The Jeckells. This was no doubt a branch of the
Essex family of the name.
John Jeckeli,, a borough-holder of Stockton in 1647, was
of Dillingham in 1642, and appears to have usually resided there.
He had a daughter, Elizabeth, married in 1681 to William
Maddison (see that family) : and a son,
William Jeckell, born in 1642, who married Margaret
Moon. (See that family.) By her he had four children.
I. John Jeckell, who suffered in Sir Cloudesley ShoveFs fleet.
II
III. Ehzabeth Jeckell, born 1688, married to Thomas
Smith, of Norton.
IV. (? The wife of Baker the Quaker ; as he is mentioned
by Brewster to have married a Jeckell.)
19th. The Buntings. With the exception of the Cookes and
Burdons, this was perhaps the most important family hitherto
mentioned. It had flourished in Stockton from the time of
Queen Elizabeth, but was probably most prosperous in the early
part of the eighteenth century. It owned a spacious house at
the east end of Dovecote Street, razed a few years ago to make
room for the " Exchange." Its genealogy is certainly worthy a
detailed narration.
Ralph Bunting, mayor of Stockton in 1564 founded the
family. He appears to have had two sons,
Ralph Bunting, mayor in 1599 (40th Eliz.), who surrendered
copyholds to Thomas Lambert 2nd April, 39 Eliz. ; and
John Bunting, living temp. Eliz. He married Elizabeth
'- ; who brought tenements in Stockton into the family.
They had issue
John Bunting, who succeeded, as appears by copy of Court
Roll, dat. 19 May, 12 Car. I. to the copyholds in Dovecote
Street, as heir to his mother. He was mayor of Stockton 1648-9,
a torough-holder the preceding year, and alive in 1653. He
married and had issue,
I. John, of whom presently ; also probably.
HISTORY OF STOCKTON UPON TEES. 83
II. Ralph Bunting, of Seaton Carew, mariner, who
resided there 10th May 1666; but was afterwards, viz. 26
January 1697, of Stockton, wljen by deed of that date he
gave lands to his kinsman, Ralph Bunting junior. Deed
sealed with a bird. ( ? a bunting.)
John Bunting, of Stockton, is styled yeoman in 1653. He
was living 1658-60 and 62; but died intestate; whereupon Isa-
bel, his widow, enjoyed the copyholds for life by custom of the
manor. She soon after married Lambert, of Stockton,
mariner, survived him also, and was living his widow in 1675.
By Bunting she had issue, a son and a daughter :
I. Ralph Bunting; of whom presently.
I. Frances, married to Mailes ; but she dying in-
testate and s. p. was succeeded in a burgage, she owned, in
Stockton, by her brother Ralph, as heir at law.
Ralph Bunting was an alderman of Stockton, and mayor
in 1702, 1711, and 1734. He surrendered copyhold tenements
within Stockton manor 17 May 1709; and married Anne ,
who, with him, appears living (by deeds dated) in 1720 and 1734.
He died 31st Oct. 1743, eet. 86; she 29th May 1746, set. 84;
both were buried at Stockton. Their monumental inscription
states that they had eleven children, of whom only one survived
them, and infers that their marriage took place about 1680.
Divers of their children however left issue. The chief were
I. Edmund, the only surviving child ; of him presently.
II. Ralph, who acquired a burgage in Stockton from his
father, but pre-deceased him.
I. Margaret (the second daughter in reality). She married
Mr. Nicholas Bradley, of Greatham, co. Dui'ham, being his
first wife : and was mother by him of
I. Ralph Bradley, Esq, of Stockton, a counsellor at law
of eminence, who made a singular charitable bequest ;
which was set aside by Lord Chancellor Thurlow in favour
of testator's next of kin. Of Ralph Bradley a biographical
memoir appears in Brewster's Stockton. He died 1788,
and was buried in Greatham church.
II. Frances, m. to George Crowe, of Stockton, and had issue.
Edmund Bunting^ was a solicitor at Stockton upon Tees,
" This gentleman owned the MS. volume already mentioned as being in the
writer's possession.

and appears in a list of Attorneys A. D. 1730. He was heir
apparent to his father in 1720; succeeded him in 1743; and
made his will 29th May 1762, leaving 20/. to the charity school.
He died set. 68, 13th Dec. 1764, having been twice married.
His first wife was Mary, daughter and coheiress of George Jack-
son, of Stokesley, co. York, gent, (by Elizabeth his wife, daugh-
ter and coheiress of Gabriel Gibbon, of the same place, gent,
who owned an estate there.) Her marriage settlement bears
date 1720; in 1724 she took out letters of administration to the
effects of her sister Jane Jackson; and died 2nd Feb. 1730, set.
37. The only surviving child of this marriage was
I. Elizabeth, who was aet. 5 in 1734. She made her will
in 1765, a codicil 1767, and died unmarried 20th Oct. 1767,
set. 39, and was buried at Stockton. She left divers charities
to Stockton.
Edmund Bunting married secondly (settlement dated 9 Aug.
1734), Dorothy, daughter of John Tomlinson of the city of
York, gent. She survived him, and made her will 1783 ap-
pointing her daughter Mary executrix, and died 19th March
1789, in her 89th year. This marriage produced
I. ToMLiNSON, of whom presently, as heir to his father.
II. Dorothy, who married Thomas Harrison, Esq. attorney-
, genera] and advocate-general of Jamaica, (third son of Sir
Thomas Harrison, Knt. chamberlain of London and receiver-
general of land-tax in Middlesex,) and by him was mother of
1. Sir George Harrison, of whom hereafter.
2. William Harrison, a lawyer in London.
3. Thomas Harrison, who lived in the West Indies.
III. Mary, married in 1788 to Captain John Sutton, of
Stockton, in the East India Company's service. She proved
her mother's will in 1789, and died s. p. ^
ToMLiNSON Bunting, Esq. only son and heir, was a party to
articles of agreement with his father 22nd Nov. 1763, and in or
soon after that year, married his cousin Anne Tomlinson, daugh-
ter of the Rev. William Tomlinson, A.M. of Jesus Coll. CambI
and grand-daughter of the said John Tomlinson, of York, gent.
Tomlinson Bunting made his will 1767, and died 1768 ; leav-

of Middleton Tyas. By her Bunting had issue only two daugh-
ters, his coheiresses at law.
I. Elizabeth (another paper says Anne), ast. 7, 12th
Geo. III.; who marrying John Hunter, Esq. of the Hermit-
age in Northumberland, had issue by him only daughters,
her coheiresses, viz.

of her cousin Sir George Harrison, Knt. (see Dodd's Peerage,
Baronetage and Knightage,) and had issue by him a son
1. Thomas Harrison.
So much for the Buntings. Contemporary with their earlier
generations were
20th. The Fleathams, who were several times mayor.
Nicholas Fleatham, mayor of Stockton in 1601-2-7-9,
surrendered copyholds within Stockton manor 20 Oct. 10 Jac. I.
to Roger Fowler, and was living in 1647. An Elenor Fleatham,
widow, surrendered copyholds 4 May, 18 Car. I. to her son
I. Thomas, of whom presently ; and
II. Anthony Fleatham, living 1647, was brother of the said
Thomas in every probability.
Thomas Fleatham, living, as already mentioned, 18 Car. I.,
married and had issue, and at his death devised a burgage in
Stockton to his grand-daughter, Fleatham, wife, afterwards
widow, of Corney. His issue, however, seem to have been
in all
I. Nicholas Fleatham, who owned a mill at or near Stock-
ton 1660, and was mayor 1672-3. From him probably pro-
ceeded
William Fleatham, who made a bequest to the charity
school, and left a widow named Elizabeth, living before
1743.
II. Robert Fleatham, who, together with a Margery F.,
owned a burgage, which passed to Fleatham Corney.

I. a daughter, who married, and had a daughter,
christened
Fleatham, who married Corney, and survived
him. She was living his widow before 1743.
The ftimily did not, however, expire here. It is believed that
not only one surviving branch merged subsequently in Grieve or
Grieves of near Stockton, (from which marriage proceeded, Wil-
liam Grieves, who was living in 1830 — 9, and his sisters ;
married to Strother of Darlington, and a sister unmar-
ried in 1838,) but one, which still exists in the male line, and of
which Fleatham of Ripon, chemist, (living circa 1836) was
descended.
21st. The Welfoots.
John Wei.foot, living 1647 (when he owned a burgage in
Stockton), and alive 1660-2, was probably father of
William Welfoot, living in 1718.
22nd. The Johnsons. Two members of this family were
borough-holders in 1647; a John Johnson and a William John-
son.
23rd. The Rudds. The Rev. Thomas Rudd, last incumbent
of Stockton old chapel, and the first vicar of the church, was an-
cestor of the Rudds of Shincliffe, co. Durham, whose pedigree
appears in Surtees's Durham.
24th. The Jessops.
John Jessop, or Jeseb, mayor in 1632-3-5-6-8, was one of
those who received an Anchorage and Plankage lease from Tho-
mas Bishop of Durham, in 10 Car. I. To him succeeded
Thomas Jessop, mayor in 1658-9-66 and 1670.
25th. The Atkinsons.
John Atkinson, of Stockton, merchant, mayor in 1657 and
1663, married Jane, daughter and coheir of William Harte, of
Stockton, yeoman ; and by her had issue
William Atkinson, mayor of Stockton 1680-1-97. He
was dead in 1740, and left issue a son
William Harte Atkinson, mayor of Stockton in 1706;
who before 1740 inherited two burgages in the town as heir at
law of his father.
HISTORY OF STOCKTON UPON TEES. 87
SBtli. The Edens.
Ralph Eden was mayor of Stockton in 1662; and a Mary
Eden, widow, no doubt his relict, devised tenements in Stockton
before 1T38 to the persons named below; the former two of
whom were her chddren.
I. Gascoigne Eden.
II. Mary Eden.
III. Ahce wife of \yilliam Forster.
27th. The Moons.
Ralph Moon, mayor of Stockton 1682-87-8, (or a near re-
lative of his name,) married daughter of Thomas Read-
man and Emmy his wife; and from that marriage issued,
I. Mr. George INIoon, living 1718.
II. Thomas Moon, to whom his grandmother Emmy Read-
man willed a bur2ja2;e in Stockton before 1743.
28th. The Wranghams.
Thomas Wrangham, Esq. mayor of Stockton 1689-90-99-
1700, appears to have married and left a widow living in 1718,
with three children,
I. Isabell Wrangham, ) whose trustees were Michael
II. Elizabeth Wrangham, > Hodgson and Peter Robin-
III. Mary Wrangham, j son.
The pedigree of Archdeacon Wrangham appears in Burke's
Commoners.
These were the principal Stockton families which flourished
prior to 1700. Undoubtedly there were others, whose names are
recorded under equally respectable circumstances; as Brown
temp. Hen. VIII., Laykey temp. Edw. VI., Tunstall temp»
Eliz. In 1634-5, Thomas Rowe occurs as one of those who re-
ceived an anchorage and plankage lease from Thomas Bishop of
Durham. William Peers, mayor in 1660-1, and William Lee,
who held the same office 1678-9, were wealthy inhabitants; but
one, if not both of them, were butchers. Contemporary with
them lived John Anson, but his family does not appear to have
remained permanently in the place. A John Jesson, Esq. lived
at Stockton in 1660-2; as did Mc;or John Jenkins during the
same reign (Charles II.); but they seem to have been solitary
members of their families resident there. The latter was of u
Welsh family ; and owned the mansion at the north end .ot
Stockton, afterwards Raisbeck's, and now Tennants; but thougJi

he devised it to Humphry Jenkins, of Yalton, in Flintshire, that
gentleman did not settle in the town, but sold it to the Raisbecks

ton family during the eighteenth century, and to them I shall
now proceed.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO THE PAPER ENTITLED " GENEALOGY
PHYSICALLY CONSIDERED,'^ &C.
When I composed the article commencing this volume I was two
years younger than I am now 5 these two years have tended much to soften
and modify some of the opinions advocated in it, and subsequent re-
searches have created some alterations in the continuous maternal pedi-
gree, which was there introduced for the purpose of showing that the
descent of position, &c. runs generally through the female lines, and
that families usually derive their best position from some maternal an-
cestor.
Page 12. Thomas Kirby of Lutterworth, and he of Barnbro' Grange
were the same person ; but he died before his daughters went to live at
Doveridge Hall, viz. in 1745, set. 41, and was buried at Barnbro', in
which church an inscription remains to his memory. His daughters
lived at Doveridge Hall, co. Derby, and were mostly married thence.

very good Marston pedigree, which on some future occasion may per-

marked that at that time none of the D'Oyly family (save children)

tunity of obtaining more minute and correct intelligence on the subject.
There is not the least evidence in favour of Mr. Haxby's story which
may not be otherwise explained away : while his authority is the com-
mon fountain-head of the rumour or insinuation wherever it has existed.
The only authority as to the date of Mr. D'Oyly's birth (viz. his own
statement in writing) places it in 1769 ; and there is no authority for
identifying him with the child of which his mother was pregnant before
her English marriage in 1768. The supplementary statement already
printed, that his birth occurred in " 1770," seems to have been but
a calculation upon his age. His birthday, however, was the 15th
July. What the actual fact was, no one can know ; but it is very clear
that in a Court of Law his birth could be proved to have occurred after
the second marriage of his parents ; if, indeed, his admission on Wake-
field manor roll, as heir at law, does not alone establish this.
Page 21. "Newton Lodge," and " The Lodge," were, it appears,
different places. Mr. D'Oyly's elder children were born at " The
Lodge," (at Heath.) near Wakefield.

was a deputy lieutenant for the North Riding of Yorkshire, being so ap-
pointed by the Duke of Leeds in 1803. The original commission is still
with that family. Mrs. W. Bayley is spoken of as a perfect Christian
and gentlewoman, not in her epitaph, but in a poetical lament, which
was published soon after her death, entitled " Reflections in Norton
Churchyard ; " in which her monumental inscription is introduced.

PRESENT STATE OF THE MONUMENTS IN THE CHURCH OF
EAST WINCH, IN THE COUNTY OF NORFOLK.
By the Rev. George Munford.
It is little more than two centuries since Weever in ihe epistle
to the readers of his " Funeral Monuments," laments that the
memorials " of the dead within these his Majesties dominions
are to the shame of our time barbarously broken downe, and
utterly almost all ruinated, their brazen inscriptions erased, torne
away, and pilfered, by which inhumane deformidable act the
honourable memory of many vertuous and noble persons de-
ceased, is extinguished, and the true understanding of divers
families in these realmes (who have descended of these worthy
persons aforesaid) is so darkened, as the true course of their in-
heritance is thereby partly interrupted." And it is grievous to
think how little the " studie and travels " of this laborious an-
tiquary availed in arresting the destructive progress of time, and
the sacrilegious hand of man.
The present state of the funeral monuments in many a sacred
edifice visited by Weever, when compared with what they were
in his time, will bear ample witness to the truth of this remark*
And an inquiry instituted with a view to this comparison would
be highly interesting, though not unaccompanied with painful
feelings.
The number of churches that Weever described is not very
large, and it would be no difficult matter for the resident clergy-
man of the several parishes he visited to furnish the required
information, by barely describing the present state of the funeral
monuments in their respective churches.
It is with this view that the following account of the church
of East Winch, in the diocese of Norwich, is drawn up.
The village itself has no small degree of interest attached to it
as having been the original settlement, and long the residence, of
the noble family of Howard.
But, before entering upon a description of the monuments of
this family that formerly existed in the church, it may be well to
give the descent of the Howards during the time of their being
connected with East Winch, extracted and compiled from " Indi-
cations of Memorials, &c. of the Family," by Henry Howard, of
Corby Castle, Esq.

92 THE CHURCH OF EAST WINCH,
The memorials that are described by Weever, but of which
no trace now remains, will be enumerated, and references made
to the first edition of the " Funeral Monuments," which was
published in 1631.
Page 842 — 849. " On the south side of the chancell of East
Winch church, is an ancient chappell, called Howard's Chappell,
ill which are these monuments following:
" In the south wall of the said chappell this monument, as it
is here set forth (see the plate in Weever), divers of the esco-
cheons being decaied (which are left blank) and only this in-
scription now remaining thereon .... animabus Domini
Roberti Howard militis et Margerie uxoris sue . . . "
This was the monument of Sir Robert Howard, son of the
second Sir John Howard, Admiral for the North Seas: he died
in 1388. On it were the arms of Sir Robert, of Margaret his
wife, daushter of Scales, of Newcells ; of Edward the Confessor,
and of others.
For bearing the arms of Edward the Confessor, Henry Earl
of Surrey was attainted and beheaded in 1546-7. The author
of the " Indications " of the Howard family says, '^ Lord Surrey
no doubt knew of the patent of 20th Richard II. which granted
to the Mowbrays, whom he represented, the right to bear the
arms of Edward the Confessor, and he had no doubt seen them
on the archway tomb, in the Howard chapel, in East Winch
church in Norfolk. It certainly appears to be a hardship that
a person should lose his head for quartering the arms of one wlio
had no arms at all, as was the case with Edward the Confessor."
The riirht of the Howards to bear the arms of Edward the
Confessor was derived from the marriage of the second Sir
Robert Howard, son of the third Sir John Howard, with Mar-
garet, the eldest daughter and coheir of Thomas de Mowbray,
first Duke of Norfolk, by his wife Elizabeth, daughter and co-
heir of Richard Earl of Arundel. As this marriage took place
in 1417, this enarched monument could not have been erected
till thirty years after the death of Sir Robert Howard whom it
commemorated.
Weever next mentions, that ''on the pavement of the said
chappell, be these two stones as they are here defigured (see the
plate,) whose inscriptions through time are decayed, or rather
stolne away by some sacrilegious persons, a crime too frequent,
CO. NORFOLK. 93
and too little punished ; but without doubt these monuments
were here placed for some of the ancestors of this most honor-
able family, this being their peculiar chappell and place of
buriall.
" In the east window of the aforesaid chappell, this ancient
effigies (see the plate) of late was perfectly to be seene, the por-
traiture of the same being exactly taken by the learned Gent.
Sir Henry Spelman, the memory thereof (as of divers other mo-
numents, and by him preserved) in relation to which, this wor-
thy knight writ these verses : —
" ' Creditur has sacris candentem ardoribus aedes
(Quas dicat hie supplex) instituisse Deo.'
" This ancient chappell of the Howards hath of late veeres
beene most irreligiously defaced by uncovering the same ; takintr
off the lead, and committing it to sale, whereby diese ancient
monuments have layne open to ruine : but now in repairin<T by
the order of the most honourable preserver of antiquities (as well
in general as in his own particular) Thomas Earle of Arundell
and Surrey, Earle Marshall of England, and the chief of that
most honourable family.
" To this I also offer in observation, both that the posture (of
the figure in the east window), fashion of the armour, and coate
of arms (wherein it is habited) denotes great antiquitie, and it
should seem by the banner-fashioned shield, that this was the
porti'aiture of some Banneret, ancestor of this illustrious family ;
for that banners, and the manner of this bearing of amies, were
only proper to Bannerets, Knights of the Garter, Barons, and
higher nobility."
The author of the " Indications "' supposes this to have been
the portrait of Sir John Howard, son of Sir William Howard,
Chief Justice.
" In this church of East Winch is a very faire font of ancient
times, erected by some of this family, as appeareth by their
armes being disposed in divers places of the same ; the which for
the curiosity of the work, considering the antiquity, gives me
occasion here to present the true forme of one part thereof unto
your view." (See plate.)
This is Weever's account of the church of East Winch as it
appeared when he visited it early in the 17th cent.; and although
94 THE CHURCH OF EAST WINCH,
at that time many of the rich memorials of the noble family of
the Howards were spoiled and fallen to decay, yet its state was
splendid then, compared with that which it now presents.
The Earl of Arundel probably arrested the destruction of this
chapel for some time ; but it could not have been for long, as
Parkin, the continuator of Blomefield's History of Norfolk tells
us, that about a century afterwards things were in a worse state
than in Weever's time. The shields and inscriptions upon the
enarched monument were defaced, and great part of the monu-
ment itself destroyed ; the two grave-stones also, and the figure
in the east window, mentioned by Weever, had shared the same
fate. Many of the older inhabitants of the parish remember its
being a ruin in their boyhood ; and as such it was actually in-
habited by several successive paupers, who dwelt in the gloomy
abode till the mouldering walls were entirely removed. The last
inhabitant died about fifty years since, and was called by her
neighbours, " Old Church Betty."
At this time no memorial of the stately family of Howard ex-
ists in the church of East Winch, except two shields of arms
upon ihe font. Enarched tomb, monumental brass, and pic-
tured window have all disappeared, and " left not a wreck be-
hind."
The cover of the font, which was of wood, and is engraved by
Weever, is also gone ; but the font itself remains, and is of much
handsomer proportions than Weever has drawn it. It is octa-
o-onal in shape ; the compartment facing the east is plain, having
been probably so left to receive the shield of some future bene-
factor to the church ; on the right of this are the arms of Sir
John Howard, Knt. who erected the font, and on the left the
arms of Alice de Bosco, wife of Sir John : each of the remaining
five compartments is occupied by a rosette. Weever's plate of
this font could never have been quite correct, as he places the
Howard arms between two rosettes. Its cover of wood was very
handsome, having been richly painted and carved, and adorned
with the arms of Howard, Scales, UflPord, East Anglia, and the
shield of the crucifixion.
Not a particle of stained glass now remains in the windows,
but in Parkin's time there were several shields in the east win-
dow, among which was that of Vere Earl of Oxford ; John de
CO. NORFOLK. 95
Vere, twelfth Earl of Oxford, having married Elizabeth, the
only child of the fourth Sir John Howard, Knt. and Joan,
daughter of Sir Richard Walton, his wife. This marriage took
place in 1428; and the Earl being then under age, and marry-
ing without the royal licence, had to pay to the King a fine of
£2,000.
The Countess of Oxford inherited East Winch with a great
part of the ancient Howard property, which thus passed into the
hands of the De Veres, and the connection of the Howard family
with this parish ceased altogether, having continued about 120
years.
Tlie only memorials of any other ancient family now existin"-
in this church are two inscriptions to the memory of Owen and
W^illiam Barnes.
Against the north wall of the chancel is a mural monument of
marble, with the arms of Barnes, viz. Argent, two bars counter-
embattled sable, in chief three pellets.
" Here lyeth under the foote of this wall, the body of Owen
Barnes, Gent, third son of William Barnes the elder, of this
place, Esq. who, after he had Christianly lived the space of 52
years, changed this life for a better Anno D. 1670.
" Quis sim nosce cujus caro putrida nil nisi vermis,
Quisquis es hoc de me sit tibi scire satis."
Parkin says, that on the west wall of the Howard chapel there
was formerly a neat monument of marble with the arms of
Barnes impaling Shepherd : Argent, on a chief gules three Da-
nish hatchets or ; and Barnes impaling Hovell, Sable, a crescent
or.
This monument is now on the outside of the south wall of
the chancel, but the arms are gone. The inscription which re-
mains is as follows : —
" Near unto this place lyeth the body of William Barnes,
Esq. son of Edward Barnes, of Soham, in Cambridgeshire, Esq.
who first married Thomasine, daughter of Richard Hovell, of
Hillington, Esq. by whom he had five daughters, after whose
death he took to wife Thomasine, the daughter of Owen Sheap-
erd, of Kirby, in this county, Esq. and (removed his seat to this
place) had by her five sons and eight daughters, and did for
many years with great prudence and fidelity serve his King and
countrey, in the office of justice of the peace; at length, such was
96 CHURCH OF EAST WINCH, CO. NORFOLK.
the iniquity of the times, that hiyalty was esteemed a crime,
when not alhirements, or threats, from him who usurped the
highest power, could seduce him from his constant adherence to
his abandoned prince, and the persecuted Church of England ;
he retired to a private life, devoting himself wholly to the service
of God and religion, and peacefully departed hence in the TTtli
year of his age 1657 expecting a joyful resurrection. To whose
memory Frances Stanton, his second daughter by his first wife,
out of her tender love and dutiful affection, erected this monu-
ment. Semper Idem."
The Barnes were lords of the manor of Grancourt in this
parish, by one of whom, Thomas, the grandson of William, the
manor was granted to his son-in-law William Langley, Esq.
grandson of Sir Robert Langley, Bart, of Sheriff Hutton, in
Yorkshire.
William Langley, Esq., second son, was succeeded in this
lordship by Thomas Langley, Esq. his youngest brother, who
upon the death of his elder brother, Sir Roger, in 1716, became
a Baronet. He married Anne, daughter of Captain Robert Edge-
worth, of Longwood, in the county of Meath, in L*eland, and
had issue two sons and five daughters, and was living in this
village in the year 1720, much reduced, and in a state of poverty.
See Parkin's continuation of Blomefield's History of Norfolk.
The Parish Register books are in a very imperfect state, not
commencing before 1678, and having no entries from 1750 to
1759.
There are several entries of the births, baptisms, and burials
of the Langley family, and among them, " Dame Anne, the
wife of Sir Thomas Langley, buried April 24, 1724.'* But the
death of Sir Thomas is not to be found in the register.
In Burke's " Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies," Sir Thomas
Langley, fourth Baronet, is said to have died 1st December
1762, aged 98 years. He was succeeded by his nephew Sir Hal-
danby Langley (of Shropshire ?) upon whose death the Baronetcy
expired.

29th. The Raisbecks.
James Raisbeck of Stockton, mariner, enfeoifed of the said
tenements by Humphrey Jenkins 1st February 1675, married
Frances, daughter of (? Bailey, and Margaret his
wife, who was a benefactress to the old almshouses at Stockton?)
By her, who married, secondly, Christopher Raine, of Stockton,
gent, before July 1692, Raisbeck had issue
William Raisbeck, Esq. of Stockton, merchant, of New-
castle on Tyne 1692, but of Stockton 1695. By indentures of
lease and release, 30th April and 1st May 1722, this gentleman
gave tenements (now the Black Lion Inn) at Stockton to Lance-
lot Hilton, in trust to pay the rents (subject to an annuity or
rent-charge of 3/. per annum to his son Thomas,) to himself for
life, and after his death to the said Thomas, and should he die
s. p., then to his daughter Alice. William Raisbeck married
Esther, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Rudd, first Vicar of
Stockton (by his wife Alice Watson), marriage settlement dated
Aug. 1695 ; and by her, he, the said William Raisbeck, who
was mayor of Stockton 1720, had issue
I. James of Stockton and Darlington, mayor of Stockton
1736, 1742, 1746, 1756, who espoused about 1725 Jane Col-
ling, of Hurworth, near Darlington (collateral ancestrix of
the present Capt. R. Colling of that place) and had issue by
her one son and two daughters :
1. Thomas, who died unmarried June 1793.
1. Anne, wife of Thomas Sheen, of Newcastle on Tyne,
and had issue only daughters.

fore his death. On the day of his funeral the shops at Stockton
were closed by order of the mayoj-, and the old parish church
was hung in mourning. Mrs. Raisbeck survived him.
Contemporary with Raisbeck flourished,
30th. The Hyltons. This family, a branch of the great
house of Hylton de Hylton, probably sprang from a Lancelott
Hylton, gent, who soon after 1655 married Dorothy, daughter
of William Wright of Cumberland, widow of John Cradocke
of the Hartforth family; — but this is conjecture.
Robert Hylton, of Stockton, gent. 1704, styled "senior"
1725, held three freehold closes in West Row, Stockton, and
dying eet. 75, 17th May 1727, was buried at Stockton. He
married Esther, daughter of , who died 13th Aug. 1725,
aet. 64, and by her had three sons,
I. Lancelott, of whom presently.
II. Robert, of New Elvet, Durham, 1725.
III. David, of Durham, 1725.
Lancelott Hylton, was of age in 1725, and living 1741.
He died 16 Oct. 1757, set. 63 (having been born 16 Aug. 1694),
and left a son
Robert Hylton, of the city of Durham, who was of age
1741 : and selling their property in West Row, Stockton, about
or soon after 1742, the family entirely abandoned Stockton, and
appear to have settled at Durham.
There is an imperfect notice of a branch of the Hylton
family in Surtees's Durham, under Stranton parish. Those Hyl-
tons merged in Longstaft', now of Norton, and are repre-
sented by William Hylton Longstaff", Esq. a very able genealo-
gist, who recently furnished a paper on Sockburn church to the
Archaeological Institute.
3 1st. The Suttons. This family merged, through Sleigh, in
Hutchinson ; and George William Hutchinson, Esq. who took
the name and arms of Sutton, and succeeded to Elton, co. Dur-
ham, is the present representative of the family. This pedigree
appears in Burke's Commoners, but the following points do not
occur there.
Thomas Sutton, gent, of Stockton, (son of John of Thorn-
borough, CO. York,) was mayor of Stockton 1708-9, made his
will 29 April 1718, and dying set. 61, 23 May 1718, was buried
at Stockton. His wife, Rachel Jefferson, was sister of Mr. Jef-

four sons and one daughter.
I. Thomas Sutton, who married Elizabeth ; made
\\\% first will in 1727; and by his said wife, who survived him
and married secondly Christopher Denton, had a daughter,
1. Elizabeth Sutton, wife of Ralph Whitley, mayor of

I. Elizabeth Sutton, wife of Lownsdale.
32nd. The Dunnings.
James Dunning had two sons,
I. Thomas, who died s. p. before 1743.
II. James, eventually heir. This
James Dunning, of Stockton, merchant, owned parts of two
burgages in Stockton under his father's will, and as heir to his
brother, before 1743. He appears to have been alive in 1760 ;
and certainly had a son,
I. Thomas Dunning, set. 20 in 1744.
33rd. The Bowlbys.
This family sprang from, or were concerned sometime at,
Helmsley, co. York.
Jordan Bowlby of Helmsley, was a trustee in 1699, for
Richard Bowlby; who espoused the sister (and in her son
heir) of Nicholas Swainston of Stockton. Richard Bowlby was
a merchant at Stockton; bought property there in 1698-9, and
was mayor of the town in 1707. By his said wife he left a son,
Thomas Bowlby, who married a lady named Mary, (she was
his wife in 1723), and is described as of the city of Durham, gent.
1710, when, as heir to his father, he was admitted to the said
property, a burgage, in Stockton ; but afterwards sold it to
Wayne, of Stockton, grocer.

heiress, who married Mr. Nesham ; from which match descended
the Nesham family. See their pedigree in Surtees's Durham.
4 1 St. The Browns. So early as 1638 an Edmund Brown
was bailiff of Stockton borough, and housekeeper of the Castle ;
but whether he was ancestor of the following family is doubtful.
Henry Brown, Esq. was mayor of Stockton 1732-45-55,
and alive in 1760.
George Brown, Esq. of Stockton, was also living in 1760.
He married and had issue a son, the late Mr. Brown of Thread-
needle Street, London, (by whose munificence Stockton alms-
houses were augmented,) and daughters, of whom Elizabeth mar-
ried Sir Robert Preston, Bart, but had no issue ; and another
was wife of the Rev. John Gilpin of Stockton, afterwards of Sed-
bury, near Richmond, co. York. The Browns owned and occu-
pied No. 8, Paradise Row, Stockton ; which was afterwards in-
habited by their relatives the Misses Welbank. After the deaths
of the latter it was purchased about 1818 by Mr. William Bay-
ley of Stockton, solicitor, (second son of W. B. Bayley, Esq. of
North Allerton, co. York, M.D. and banker, a D. L. for the
North Riding,) who now resides in it (1846), and is the senior
practising solicitor in the town.
42nd. The Maddisons.
William Maddison, supposed to have been the person so
named who was his contemporary, and a sixth son of the old
Maddison family of co. Durham, (see their pedigree in Hutchin-
son and Surtees,) married, 1681, Elizabeth, daughter of John
Jeckell, and was probably the W. M. who held a burgage in
Stockton temp. George H. Another
William Maddison, probably their son, was alive in 1760;
and no doubt he was father, or grandfather, of the late Colonel
Maddison, of Norton, who married and had issue.
43rd. The Sleighs. This family came from Ireland it is
believed. The elder branch married a coheiress of Bathurst of
Scutterskelf, and is now represented by George William Sutton,
Esq. of Elton : a younger one is now represented hy William
Sleigh, late an eminent silversmith at Stockton, who married a

Army, by whom she had issue.
Ill wife of Frederick Lumley, Esq. of Stockton,

IV. Mary, married to her cousin Leonard Raisbeck, Esq.
of Stockton.
This Robinson family was descended from one of those in
Yorkshire, in which " Leonard " was so commonly used as a
baptismal name. This was the case, not only in Robinson of
Rokeby ; but also in a family of Robinson of the East Riding,
whose pedigree appears in Poulson's History of Holderness. The
Robinsons of Stockton quartered the coats of Barker and Cot-
tingham ; and their arms are described under the pedigree of
Raisbeck. (Vide ante.)

45th. The Ferrands. A branch of Ferrand of Harden, was
located in Stockton during the eighteenth century, and was so
respectable as for its representative to marry a daughter and co-
heiress of the Rev. George Walker, the Vicar. Having subse-
quently, however, succeeded to the West Riding estates of its
family, it returned thither, and its pedigree now appears in

John Peacock, of Stockton, occurs in 1724.
William Peacock, senior, owned part of a burgage in 1743;
when also
William Peacock, junior, was living. He was doubtless the

inter alios
John Peacock, Esq. of Norton, who died about 1835. He
married Miss Shields, and had issue, with younger children,

ter of Francis Mewburn, Esq. of Darlington, solicitor, by his

68th. The Skellys were one of the best families in Stockton
during the latter part of the last century. They descend from
the marriage of the Rev. John Skelly, Vicar of Stockton from
1742 to 1772, with Lady Betty Gordon. Their pedigree appears
in Burke's Commoners, 1st edition, under Grey of Morwick. Of
the pi'esent generation, however, the following points do not
occur. Elizabeth, daughter of the late Col. Gordon Skelly,
married Capt. Robert Colling, of Hurworth, near Darlington ;
Dorothy, daughter of the said Col. Skelly, married the Rev.
Rowland Webster, of Stranton, co. Durham. Latterly the
Skellys lived in a house previously occupied by
69th. The Christophers. This name is evidently of Welsh
origin ; and in a neighbouring county to Wales, viz. Worcester-
shire, it first appears to have attained distinction. At Stoke Prior
in that county, a most respectable family of the name flourished
during the seventeenth century, and recorded its pedigree at the
Worcestershire visitation 1684.^ The first who resided at Nor-
ton, whence it went to Stockton, was
Richard Christopher, who died temp. Queen Anne, and
was buried at Norton 22 Dec. 1708. He was probably Richard
(aet. 40, and s. p. m. in 1682,) half and younger brother of

pine-cones vert, a chief of the second."
110 GENEALOGICAL ADDITIONS TO THE

twice married. His first family, born before he settled at Nor-
ton, were two sons and one daughter, viz.

following Richard's (his father's) death, viz. 24 Nov. 1709,
Frances Cooke, and by her had issue a daughter, Mary, who
owned tenements at Norton, and died unmarried eet. 87, 21st
June 1799, and a son
1. William Christopher, of Norton parish, gent, who
owned a small estate there which he farmed himself. He
was born about 1714, and died 11th Jan. 1785; having
married Margaret, daughter of Pooley, of Eston in
Cleveland; by whom, who survived him, and died 15 April
1801, set. 84, he had issue not less than ten children, seven
of whom attained their full age. These were four sons and
three daughters.
1. William Christopher of Norton, his successor, who
died s. p. whereupon the patrimonial estate was sold.
2. Robert Christopher of Paradise Row, Stockton on
Tees, who was born 1749-50. This gentleman (who made
a large fortune by shipping and other speculations,) was
twice married : his first wife was Mary Wilson of the Tile
Shades, near Stockton, aunt of John Wilson, Esq. barris-
ler-at-law, Recorder of Carmarthen ; but by her he had
no issue. He married secondly ; and died wealthy, set.
69, 12 July 1819, leaving his property principally to his
second wife's children ; and thus the present possessor of
his houses, &c. at Stockton, is (his grandson, by her,)
James Christopher Davidson, Esq. of Stockton, soli-
citor. He owns Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, Paradise Row,
Stockton (the best part of the town), in the last of
which Robert Christopher formerly resided.
3. Richard Christopher, who left Norton to reside in
another part of the county of Durham. He married a
Syssom of co. Durham or Westmoreland, and had issue.
4. John Christopher, who, being really the tenth child,
entered trade at Stockton, and was long the most respect-
able in his vocation there. He married Elizabeth Ander-
son, a remote relative of the late Lady Vane Tempest, of
Wynyard (who brought her up from her earliest infancy

William Christopher, Esq. of Stockton on Tees, Captain
in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company, the fourth and
youngest son, distinguished the family. He was baptized 4 May
1735 at Norton, went to sea, and became Captain of one of the
vessels belonging to the said company. His chief service to
Government was his discovery in 1761 of the passage through
Chesterfield Inlet, Hudson's Bay ; but he subsequently figured
in various honourable services, and especially in 1783, when he
was engaged in a gallant achievement, at or near Hudson's Bay.
After this, says Brewster in his memoir of him, " he left the
service of the Company with considerable fortune, and resided
at Stockton." His abode was the house in the High Street
already mentioned. He died November 1797, and was buried
at Norton ; in which church a marble tablet is placed to his
memory.
His issue removed to London ; they recorded their genea-
logy in the Heralds' College; having obtained a grant of arms,
symbolical of his services, viz. " Per chevron wavy azure and
erminois, in chief two estoiles argent, in base on a mount a
beaver, in fesse-point a chart of Chesterfield Inlet ; " ™ and the
representative of the family in 1820 was
George Christopher, Esq. of Great Coram Street, London,
an eminent wine merchant.

clergyman, governess in Mr. Bayley's family of Paradise Row),
and Anne wife of George Hardcastle, master of Stockton
Grammar School ; as well as younger children.
I. Sarah, who died young.
II. . wife of Mr. Brown.
85th. The Wilsons. There have been two or more families
of this name located in the town. The one of which I treat, was
founded by a mariner of the name, who came from the North,
and marrying one of the Headlams, acquired by her the pro-
perty near Stockton called "The Tile Shades." Their chief issue
were Mary, wife of Robert Christopher (see that family), Wil-
liam, of whom presently, and
Robert Wilson, who had the Tile Shades estate, and
married Miss Kingston, by whom he had issue Robert of
Stockton, draper, (who died about 1842, having had issue,)
John of the Tile Shades, (who married Miss Hunter and had
issue,) and Jane married to Mr. Moss.
William Wilson, of Stockton, mariner, lived in Cleveland
Row, and was twice married. His first wife was related to a
family named Shortridge. By her he had issue an only child, a
daughter, wife of Henry Robert Eustatia Wright, Esq. of Stock-
ton, solicitor, formerly partner with Raisbeck. He married se-
condly the only child of Fowler, representative of the
Launces of Devon and Cornwall. Capt. Wilson died about
1840 at the advanced age of 90 or upwards, having had by his
second wife a very numerous family, viz.

mayor of Stockton, and died leaving issue.
87th. The Walkers. There have been several Walker fami-
lies in Stockton.
Mr. Peter Walker was living 1718; and was possibly the
person of that name who was dead 1728, leaving a widow, Anne,
and a son
William Walker, of Stockton, mariner, 1728.
John Walker had a son
Robert Walker, to whom he willed part of a burgage be-
fore 1743.
The Rev. George Walker, the Vicar," left coheiresses, of
whom one married Richardson Ferrand, Esq.
In later times another Walker family has attained distinction
in the town, and accumulated considerable wealth; but it is not
the purpose of this article to enter upon the pedigrees of families
which have risen into importance during the present century ;
' This Wilson family uses " Per pale argent and azure, three gambs erased fesse-
wise (sometimes two and one, sometimes in pale) counterchanged."
" Walker, the Vicar, is said to have borne " Argent, a chevron between three
crescents sable, on a canton of the second a dove with an olive branch,"

unless, indeed, they have since become extinct. Of that class,
however, may be named
88th. The Rovvntrees.
This name occurs in deeds of the seventeenth century ; and
Robert Rowntree was of Stockton parish 1726.
Thomas Rowntree resided at the same place in 1744.
The Rev. John Rowntree married daughter and
sole heiress of the Rev. William Russell, Incumbent of Elton,
CO. Durham, temp. George I. (stated to be related to the Dukes
of Bedford,) and succeeded his father in law in the living of

one son, and four daughters.

But I find myself encroaching on the land of the livino- ;
which is not the object of this article. Indeed, had it not been
haggling and garbling some of the pedigrees, I would have no-
ticed no individual living after the year 1800.
The above, however, are certainly the most respectable Stock-
ton families, of ancient date, located in the town any leno-th of
time. Various others have had a temporary residence in the place ;
and even members of the peerage and inferior aristocracy have
occasionally lived there in times passed away. In addition to
those mentioned, some other families have established themselves
there by commercial pursuits within the last thirty years : but in
respect of heraldic and ancestral pretensions, the above com-
prise the most important. Still other names occur under very
respectable aspects in ancient documents.
There was a William Barker of Stockton, merchant, 1732 ;
Mr. Thomas Ogle was living there 1718; Elizabeth Wrench in
1718-24; William Stringer 1718; Robert Catchside and Mar-
tha his wife owned tenements about the same time ; several of
the Headlams were at Stockton soon after; and John Finch
mayor 1728-9, devised a burgage to Anne, his widow. The
Stocks were schoolmasters; Mr. Thomas Smelt occurs 1718;
Stephen Wheelwright living 1718, was dead 1724; James Hope
dead 1744, left a widow named Jane ; and William Denton
living 1729, was no doubt predecessor of Christopher Denton,
who married Thomas Sutton's widow. John Benton acquired
part of a burgage from his brother Robert by deed before 1740 ;
and contemporary with him were four sisters, named Martha,
Anne, Mary, and Elizabeth Benton. The Claxtons, Cosers,
Falls, Grundys, and Whorl tons, &c. now or late in trade at
Stockton, have been settled there scarcely less than a century ;
122 GENEALOGICAL ADDITIONS TO THE
there was a George Coser in 1760; Joseph Claxtons in 1724
and 1760; Thomas Fall was mayor 1764 ; Robert Grundy mar-
ried Anne, aunt and coheiress of Robert Dale ; there was also a
William Grundy about the same time; and William Barker
(already mentioned) was a borough-holder under a devise in his
grandfather Grundy's will. (This Barker was of a different
family from that which matched with Wastell.) Elizabeth
Whorlton owned tenements before 1743, by devise of one of the
Fewlers. Afterwards the names of Lawrence Jobson, Lawrence
Richardson, Isaac Todd, Sec. occur. The first owned No. 9,
Paradise Row, which passed thence to the Marshalls. Polly
Marshall married the Rev. Benjamin Evans, a Welshman, Uni-
tarian minister of Stockton ; but died very aged issueless after
1831. Her husband survived, but at his death the property
passed to her niece, wife of a Mr. Fisher, of London ; who sold
it to the Ewbankes. Richardson and Todd were living 1760.
Lamb and Colling;, of the " //wrz^or^/i" family (an estate pur-
chased by Robert Colling, of Haughton Field, co. Durham, gent,
of John Jennison, for 1000/. about 1711; Ralph Colling of Long
Newton, gent, being his trustee then), were wine merchants at
Stockton about 1760, and were connected by blood or marriage.
Lamb left three daughters, Dolly, Peggy, and Bessy, who owned
the house at the corner of Silver Street, now Braithwaite's, and
all of them died at advanced ages between 1830 and 1840,
unmarried. Colling matched with Raisbeck and Skelly, and was
related to Hartley of Middleton Tyas; but could scarcely be
called a Stockton family. About 1760 the following names also
occur : Ralph Vipond, John Jefferson, Christopher Heltass,
John Gowland, Robert Deighton, (see Smith), George Ware,
Charles Wharton, Samuel Nicholson, Thomas Percival, Dorothy
Reed, George Jolly, Edward Fawcett, Ralph Whitfield, John
Moubray, Thomas Pye, Isaac Guys, Ralph Clark, John Foster,
Ann Cradock, William Danby, Hugh Bird, Michael Heavisides,
John Beckwith, John Richmond, Michael Shields, Joseph Pres-
ton, Joseph Moss, John Cottingham, &c. &c. &c. Many dis-
tinguished families and persons have resided in the place. The
Consetts, late of Brawith, co. York, sometime lived there; so
did the Prestons ; and others, the majority of whom are noticed
in Brewster's Stockton. Joseph Ritson, the antiquary, occurs

in 1760 ; he was a native, and has been amply memorialized
by Surtees, Brewster, and others. Ralph Bradley, the coun-
sellor, is noticed under Bunting, to which family he was re-
lated. There are no doubt persons and families which have
been overlooked in this article, who desei've to be as much re-
corded as many I have mentioned ; but imperfections are inse-
parable from compilations of this description ; and, though the
foregoing details are all original, the writer is very sensible that
in their present state many are far from perfect. He would
venture, however, to assert, that were the contents of Norton
and Stockton parish registries added to these details, a tolerably
complete history would be formed of all the influential families
located in the place prior to 1800.

PEDIGREE OF THE TREGOZE FAMILY.
The following account of the Tregoze family, though far from
perfect, may, perhaps, supersede Sir William Dugdale's.
That the noble family of Tregoze is of Norman extraction is
highly probable ; and that
" Le Sire de Tregoz " was at Hastings in 1066, appears by
John Foxe's copy of Battle Abbey Roll ; or rather his " List of
noble Normans who settled in England at the Conquest." Le-
land's copy of the Roll of Battle Abbey (which indeed is the
best; for that eminent antiquary saw and transcribed the ori-
ginal), confirms John Foxe's, after its rhyming fashion; assuring
us that there were there, " Gurney et Greilly, Tregos et Trylly." »
The said '' Sire de Tregoz " was unquestionably father of
William de Tregoz, who flourished in the reign of
Hen. I. and of whom the great Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I.
1130-1, makes much mention, which document Sir William
Dugdale, in his Baronage (1675), invariably refers to as of
5th Stephen, and this, because the roll was considered of
that date in his early life, though Frynne, and all antiquaries
of any talent, acuteness, or discrimination, had determined it
of Henry the First's reign in 1668, seven years before. The
said Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I. proves William Tregoz to have
been a man of much consequence, and to have been concerned
in Norfolk, Essex, Berks, and Lincolnshire; and, moreover, that
he then had the lands of William Peverell, of London, in farm.
Tregoz married and had issue, and very probably that Agnes
Tregoz, who we find living in 9th Ric. L as concerned in Nor-
folk and Essex, was his widow. His issue were, apparently,
three sons and one daughter.
L Geoffry Tregoze, his heir, who espoused Annabella,
daughter of Robert Gresley, and, dying in or before 21 Hen.
H. 1175, the sheriff of Essex in that year accounted to the
Exchequer, for the amount of his lands, by the name of an

" Honour." He had issue, with four daughters, whose names
are unascertained, a son and heii\ His wife survived, and
was living his widow 32nd Hen. H. 1185-6, when she held
the manor of Dunstable, then valued at 12/. per ann. His
son and heir was
I. William Tregoze, who was a minor at his father's
death : for Robert de Lucy, of Norfolk, was then appointed
his guardian. This William Tregoze married Lucy,
daughter of his guardian, being but 17 years of age at the
time of his marriage. He obtained livery of his lands 34
Hen. H. 1187-8, and was living in 3rd John, 1201, being
then of Essex, Herts, Norfolk, and Suffolk. He died in
1208, leaving, with a daughter, a son and heir, both infants
under age at that time ; whereupon Stephen Harengot, in
consideration of 400 marks, obtained the wardship of both.
The son was
I. Robert Tregoze, a minor 1208, who married a lady
unrecorded. He died temp. Hen. HL seised of Billing-
ford manor, co. Norfolk, as appears by his Inquisitio
post mortem in the calendars; though the year of its
date is uncertain. With a younger son, Robert de
Tregoz, who was of Suffolk, 51st Hen. III. 1267, he had
a son and heir,
L Geoffry Tregoze, who held the manors of Rid-
dlesworth, &lc. in Norfolk, and died in or before 40
Hen. HI. (1255), seised of the manors of Billingford
and Riddlesworth, and the honour of Peveral in Nor-
folk, as appears by his Inquis. post mort. made that
year; to take which a writ of diem claus. extrem. was
issued 1255 ; and Robert de Tregoze was found to be
his heir, and eldest son. In all, Geoffry had issue
two sons and three daughters,
1. Sir Robert Tregoze his heir, who was of age
1256; for in that year he did homage, and had livery
of his father's lands. In 49 Hen. III. (1264-5), he
had a errant of free-warren in ToUeshunt and Blun-
teshall in Essex, Billingford in Norfolk, and Bales-
thorpe in Notts ; but dying s. p. was succeeded by
Nicholas his brother.
126 PEDIGREE OF THE TREGOZE FAMILY.
2. Nicholas Tregoze, heir to his brother. This
person married Eva (wlio survived him);
and before 3rd Edw. I. (1274), by the description
of " Nicholas, son and heir of Geoffry Tregoze,"
he enfeoffed one Robert Burnell, of Billingford
manor, co. Norfolk, and sold lands there to other
persons. He then however held one fee in Tolles-
hunte, in Essex, and had assize of bread and ale
there; but " the Hundredors (Inq. Rot. Hund.) knew
not by what warrant." Nicholas Tregoze died s. p.
before or in 7th Edw. I. (1278-9), for in that year
Richard de Holebrooke was commanded to seize for
the King the manors of Tolleshunte and Bluntes-
hall, which had been his (Nicholas's), and which he
had held in capite. Of this Nicholas Tregoze, we
also find the following mention in the Hundred Rolls
of Essex, 2nd Edw. I. " They (the Hundredors of
Witham) say, that Roger de Chaundeford took five
silver marks unjustly of Roger Fitz-.Tohn, whom
Nicholas Tregoz had unjustly imprisoned, nor could
he be liberated, even by the King's command, until
he had made the said satisfaction to the said Roger
de Chaundeford."
1. Lucy Tregoze, married to de Wood, and
had issue John de Wood.
2. Joan Tregoze, wife of de Burnham and
mother of James de Burnham, her son and heir.
3. Hawisia, wife of Gernoun, by whom she
had a son John Gernoun.
After Nicholas Tregoze's death, these three per-
sons, John Wood, James Burnham, and John
Gernoun, had a contest with one Hugh Crep-
pinge, for the manors of Tolleshunte-Tregoze and
Blunteshall in Essex, they claiming as coheirs at law
of the said Nicholas in right of their respective mo-
thers, his sisters, and he, of Nicholas' grant to him.
The contest was determined in favour of the coheirs,
and by inquisition taken before the escheator of
Essex in Trinity Term 21 Edw. I. they were ordered
to pay their relief, and do homage to the King for

the same. And it was declared that Hugh Crep-
ping was never seised of the said lands, because Eva
wife of Nicholas Tregoze survived her husband. —
Thus ended this branch of the family.
II. Sir Robert de Tregoze, of whom and his posterity pre-
sently.
III. John Tregoze, who was seated in Sussex 14th Hen. II.
(1167), and marrying, had issue, apparently, two sons; Henry,
evidently his heir ; and Thomas Tregoze, who removed into the
adjoining county of Kent, and was living there 1st John (1199).
1 . Henry Tregoze held lands in Goring, in Sussex, 3rd
John (1202), as appears by the Rot. Oblat. ; and that he was
then also living is confirmed by the Rot. Cane. In 4th John
(1202-3), William Mordant acknowledged that he ought to
render to Henry Tregoze the free tenement in Goring, in
Sussex; and in 1219, 3rd Hen. III., we find the said Henry
Tregoze giving the King half a mark to have a writ against
Emma fitz Ralph, and Rose and Avice her sisters, concerning
tenements in Goring ; this Henry had issue, it would appear,
two sons,
1. Sir Henry Tregoze, heir to Goring, &c. who, in 41st
Hen. III. (1256-7), had a grant of free warren in Gor-
ing, Deddisham, and Warburton, co. Sussex; but who ap-
pears to have died s. p.
2. John Tregoze, who married Matilda and ac-
quired (apparently by her) the manor of Denne, or Warn-
ham, in Sussex. John Tregoze and Matilda, his wife, had
a grant of free warren in Denne and Iham in Sussex 55th
Hen. III. (1270-1) ; and were clearly the parents of
1. Sir Henry Tregoze, Knt. who succeeded to both
Denne and to Goring, and the other Sussex estates of his
paternal ancestor Henry Tregoze. Of him hereafter : as
he became male representative of the Tregozes temp

ville ; and had lands in Aspull, co. Suffolk, given her, in frank-
marriage, by her brother GeofFry Tregoz. They had issue an
only daughter and heiress.
1. Maud Besville, married before 1195 (7th Ric. I.) to
Colville ; for in that year she had a suit with her cou-
sin WilHam Tregoze (son of Geoffry) for half a knight's fee
in Aspull, in Suffolk, which Geoffry Tregoze had given his
sister Albreda, her mother, in frank-marriage. This mairiage
produced
1. William Colville, their son and heir; against whom
his kinsman, Robert Tregoze, renewed the suit for the
Aspull lands in the time of John ; and Colville appears to
have been worsted by his relative, in this contest. William
Colville married Rose ; and died before or in 1241,
25th Hen. III. ; for then was she living his widow, and
commenced legal proceedings against Geoffry Tregoze, for
40 acres of land, &c. in Aspull, as her dower ; which she
succeeded in recovering against him.
Sir Robert de Tregoze, second son, was, though such, the
great man of the family, and founded its most important branch ;
and this because he acquired immense wealth by his marriage.
He took to wife Sibilla, daughter and heiress of Robert de
Ewyas, Lord Ewyas, of Harold Ewyas, in Herefordshire;
and in 9th Ric. I. (Easter Term) had a suit with Hermenus de
Bra ton for the advowson of Braton church in Norfolk, part of
her vast inheritance. But it appears, that though duly mar-
ried, a strange contest arose in the 11th John regarding her;
when, in Easter Term, William de Newmarket was summoned
to show by what right he claimed to wife her who was Robert
Tregoz's wife ; for it appears that Richard I. had given her to
Tregoz in marriage. Whereupon Newmarket came and said
that he had married her in the time of Richard the First by gift
of Robert de Ewyas her father. It is very certain, however,
that Tregoz had sufficient power to retain the heiress ; for in
13th John, Michaelmas Term, we find " Robert de Tregoze and
Sibilla his wife" impleading Ralph de St. Maur for land in
Bren, in Somersetshire, the right of the said Sibilla ; " and in
Trin. Term, I4th John, they had recovered the said lands against
St. Maur. This Sibilla de Ewyas brought immense domains,
PEDIGREE OF THE TREGOZE FAMILY. 129
including the castle of Ewyas Harold in Herefordshire, into the
Tregoze family.
Meanwhile Sir Robert de Tregoze was High Sheriff of Wilts
3rd llic. I. ; and in three years after was engaged in the expe-
dition made into Normandy. In 1st John (1200), he gave the
King 200 marks in silver to have granted to him the wardship
of the heir and lands of Geolfry Hose; and in 7th John (1206),
on collecting the scutage of that King's reign, answered thirty-
eight marks for nineteen knight's fees belongine: to the honour
of Robert de Ewyas his father in law. He also held one knight's
fee in Irchingfield ; but died about the year 1212.
Sibilla, his wife, survived him, and in 1214 married, secondly,
Roger de Clifford, for which marriage that nobleman gave the
King 1000/. Roger de Clifford died 1231-2, In the lifetime of
his elder brother Walter de Clifford, having had by the said
Sibilla a son, Roger de Clifford, a Baron famous for his extraor-
dinary experience in military affairs, ancestor of the Lords de
Clifford. Sibilla herself was dead in 1236, and by Tregoze, her
former husband, had two sons and a daughter.
I. Sir Robert Tregoze, their heir.
II, John Tregoze, who was of Shortgrave, co. Wilts, and was
undoubtedly the person so named who had a grant to hold <a
market and fair at Bren, in Somersetshire in 1253 (37 and 38
Hen. III.) ; and in 54 Hen. III. (1269-70) had licence granted
by the King to inclose Shortgrave Wood in Bradene Forest and
to make a park there. His Inq. post mort. was made 54 Hen.
III. when he died seised of a wood at Shortgrave, in Wilts. But
he appears to have left no surviving posterity.
I. Alicia Tregoze, wife of Sir Robert Cecil, or Sitsilt, of
Haltrennis, Knt. and by him mother of James Cecil, ancestor
of Lord Burghley, and the Marquesses of Exeter and Salis-
bury.
Sir Robert Tregoze, Knt. eldest son and heir, succeeded
his father in his immense Wiltshire and Herefordshire posses-
sions, and was Baron Tregoze of Lydiard Tregoze, in the former
county, and Lord of Ewyas Harold in the latter, in right of his
mother. He did homage and had livery of his mother's estates
in Herefordshire, 20 Hen. III. (1236), paying 100/. for his re-
lief. He was living 40 Hen. Ill ; and two years after was sum-

moned to march against the Welsh ; but joining the rebellious
Barons of this reign, the same year, was slain at the battle of
Evesham, 4th Aug. 1265, 49th Hen. III. ; having had to wife
Juliana, daughter of William Lord Cantilupe (by Milicent his
wife, daughter of Hugh de Gournai, widow of Almeric Earl of
Evreux) ; which Juliana brought the manor of Great Doding-
ton, in Northamptonshire, into the Tregoze family, and bare her
husband two children. Sir Robert Tregoze's Inq. post mort.
was made 49th Hen. UI. where a list of his estates may be seen.
By the Roll of Arms, compiled between 1240 and 1245, we find
that this Sir Robert de Tregoze bore, " Gules, three bars gemels
or, a lion passant in chief of the same." His issue were
I. Sir John Tregoze, his heir.
I. Lucy Tregoze, married to John Lord L'Estrange, of
Knokyn, in Shropshire, sheriff of that county 21 Hen. IH.
and Governor of Montreuil, Bruges (Bridgnorth), and Elles-
mere castles. By him she was mother of John L'Estrange, who
perpetuated the line of the Barons L'Estrange, of Knokyn.
Sir John Tregoze, Lord Baron Tregoze, only son and
heir, did homage and obtained livery of his father's lands 52nd
Hen. in. (1268), and stood in such favour with royalty that,
notwithstanding his father's treason, he was acquitted of 50
marks of 100/. then due for his relief; after which he attended
Edward I. into Wales, in the expedition made thither in the
early part of his reign.
By the Plac. de quo warranto, we find John Tregoze, in 8th
Edw. I. summoned to show by what title he claimed wrecks,
waifs, and estrays, in his manor of Burneham in Somersetshire ;
when he showed that it was the right of his ancestors and no
usurpation of the royal prerogative. In the following year he
was summoned to show why he claimed free warren in Lydyard
Tregoze, in Wilts, without the King's licence; and in 20th
Edw. I. he received a like summons regarding the manor of
Retby in Irchingfield, in Herefordshire, when he answered he
held it with Mabelia his wife, and would not show his title with-
out her. In the 20th Edw, I. he was also summoned to prove
his title to divers other prerogatives, viz. the correcting the in-
fringement of the assize of bread and ale, and the holding Ci'own
Pleas within his manor of Mathuenleye and Eton; when he
showed they had been his ancestors' rights immemorially.
PEDIGREE OF THE TREGOZE FAMILY. 131
In 13 Edw. I. (1284-5) he obtained licence to hold either a
fair, or had free warren granted, at the following places, Eton
in Herefordshire, Burneham and Cheleworth in Somersetshire,
Lydiard and Alinton in Wilts; and in 22nd Edw. I. benig in
the campaign of Gascony, he had permission for his wife and
family to reside in Devizes castle, and to have fires there.
This Baron, during the latter part of his life was summoned
to Parliament by writ as one of the Majores Barones ; viz. on
26 Jan. 1296, 25th Edw. I. and on 6 Feb. 1299, 27th Edw. I.;
and in the year 1300 was summoned to perform military service
gainst the Scotch; but his death prevented it; for he died 21
Aug. 28th Edw. I. (1300), and was buried 12 kal. Sept. 28th
Edw. I. in the Priory of St. Augustin at Bristol.
By the two Inq. post mort. made after that event, one in 28th,
and the other 29th Edw. I., we find that he died seised of an
immense inheritance, viz. the castle and honour of Ewyas Harold
with its members in the Marches of Wales, which he held by
barony, the manor of Eton Tregoze in Herefordshire, and nu-

mandate to seize for the King the lands of John Tre-
goze defunct, being issued to Walter de Gloucester in 28th
Edw. I.
Long before this John Tregoze had married Mabel, daughter
of Foulk Lord Fitzwarren ; and this lady owned the manor of
Weston in Bedfordshire, and the hamlet of Sturden, in Glou-
cestershire, as appears by her Inq. post mortem, made 25th
Edw. I. (1296-7) she being described in the record as his wife.^
By her John Lord Tregoze had only two daughters,
I. Clarissa Tregoze, who had been married v. p. to Roger
la Warre, and predeceased her father, leaving by her husband
a son and heir
1. John la Warre, who on his maternal grandfather's
death, being 23 years of age, succeeded eventually to Harold
Ewyas castle and lordship, &c. with a right to quarter the
Tregoze arms, as borne by his ancestors.
II. Sibilla Tregoze, who was living at her father's death
28 Edw. X. and then 28 years of age, being wile of William
de Grandison (or as it was then latinized " de Grandi Bono,")

132 PEDIGREE OF THE TREG02E FAMILY.
some time of Exon Hill, co. Glouc. to whom she was mmTied
about or before 13th Edw, I. when her father settled upon her
and her husband lands at Lydiard Trcgoze in Wilts, in frank
marriage. From this marriage descended the
Scudamores of Holm-Lacy, in Herefordshire.
But on the decease of Sir John dc Tregozc, contention arose
between his coheirs regarding the division of his lands ; and
in 31st Edw. I. the escheator of Herefordshire and Wales was
commanded to inform William de Grandison and Sibil his
wife, that John la Warre, cousin {i. c. grandson) and one of
the heirs of John Tregoze, refuses to take the knight's fees,
which had been assigned to him in the division made of the
estates between the heirs ; because, as he alleges, the greater
part of the said fees pertained to his castle of Ewyas Harold ;
and soon after, we find William de Grandison placing himself
under the King's protection ; which probably decided the con-
test in Grandison 's favour. However this may be, the male
representation of the Tregoze family descended, on Sir John's
death, to his half-cousin.
Sir Henry Tregoze, of Goring, in Sussex, who, or his pro-
genitors, had differenced the family armorial charges of gemel
bars and the passant lion, by placing them on a blue, instead of
a red shield ; and the Roll of Arms compiled between 2nd and
7th Edw. II. proves the coat borne by Sir Henry Tregoze to
have been " de Azure, a ii barres gimyles de or, en le chef un
lupard passaunt de or;" but it is a curious fact, that soon after
the final extinction of the above senior branch of the family. Sir
Henry handed over this coat to the younger branches of his own
family, and he, or his son and heir, resumed the old colours of
red and gold, but bore them reversed ; viz. a golden shield with
the charges gules. This was possibly intended to mark, that,
thouo'h chief of his house, he was not lineally descended from its
originally elder line, which bore the field gules and the bearings
or, and which the la Warres and Grandisons would be entitled
to claim.
Sir Henry Tregoze had succeeded his parents and ancestors in
their Sussex estates, before he became head of his family ; and
about 1271 he sold his manor of Denne or Warnham, co. Sus-
sex, to Rosa de Oyly of Raunton, in Staffordshire. In 3rd
Edw, I. it was found that Henry Tregozc claimed wrecks in
PEDIGREE OF THE TREGOZE FAMILY. 133
Palynge hundred, and assize of bread and ale in the vill of Go-
ring ; and, moreover, that he had appropriated to himself free
warren there.
This Sir Henry Tregoze married Margaret, daughter and
heiress of his neighbour, John de Goring, of co. Sussex ; through
which match some represent the family as acquiring Goring
lordship ; but it has been shown that the Tregozes held property
there nearly a century before. Sir Henry was, however, also
. fard of Wykenholle, co. Sussex ; and in importance almost ex-
ceeded his great deceased kinsman John Baron Tregoze ; for
during the reigns of Edward I. and Edward H. 1294 and 1322,
Sir Henry Tregoze, having acquired nmch renown in the Scotch
wars, was summoned to Parliament as a Baron.
In 1296, 24th Edw. I. he was enrolled, pursuant to an ordi-
nance for the defence of the sea-coast of Sussex, as a knight
holding lands within the rape of Arundel, but not resident in the
county; and, in 1297, he was among those returned from Sus-
sex and Surrey, as holding lands or rents of 20/. yearly, and as
such summoned to perform military service in parts beyond the
seas. In 29 Edw. I. he obtained licence from the King to liold
a market and fair at Goring ; in 1301 we find him styled "Do-
minus de Garynnges ; " and in 33rd Edw. I, he had a grant of
free warren in Wykenholt, co. Sussex.
In 1307 he was a Conservator of Peace in Surrey, and in the
following year (1308) in Sussex; in which last year also he was
summoned to attend King Edward II.'s Coronation. In 1309
and in 1313, " Henry Tregoze" {sed (ju. he or his younger son?)
was summoned to Parliament as Knioht of the Shire for Sussex as
well as by special writ. By the said Margaret de Goring he had
issue
I. Sir Thomas de Tregoze, his heir.
II. Henry Tregoze, living 1323, who died s. p.
I. Isabella de Tregoze, wife of John Boome, of Andeherste.
Sir Thomas de Tregoze, elder son and heir, Lord of Goring,
&c. &c. was a Knight of great note, and in 1316 (9 Edw. II.)
was certified, pursuant to the writ tested at Clipstone, to be lord
of Goring, Preston near Arundel, Burpham, and Gretham, co.
Sussex. In 1318 he was summoned against the Scotch. On
the 4th January that year, 11th Edw. II., he was summoned to
Parliament as a Major Baron, as bis father had been ; and in
134 PEDIGREE OF THE TREGOZE FAMILY.
1325 was summoned, with certain other knights, to pass over into
Guienne under the Earl of Warren's command. He liad a grant
of free warren in Goring, Preston, Deddisham, and several other
places in Sussex and Kent, 5 Edw. III. ; and was summoned to
Parh'ament once more as a Baron, from 20th Oct. 1332 to 9th
April 1335.
This Sir Thomas Tregoze married Joane, daughter of
Lord Poynings, of the county of Sussex, and was dead in 2Gth
Edw. Ill ; for then was the said Joane liis widow, and party to a
family settlement made by her son in law, Sir John D'Oyly, and
Margaret his wife, her daughter. Sir Thomas Tregoze had by
her two children, a son and a daughter,
I. Sir Henry de Tregoze, his heir.
I. Margaret de Tregoze married to Sir John D'Oyly, ma-
norial lord of Raunton, in Staffordshire, and of Stoke-D'Oyly,
in Northamptonshire, as well as of la Denne, in Warn-
ham parish, co. Sussex. By him she had issue a son and a
daughter. ^
1. Sir Thomas D'Oyly, who died s. p.
1. Joane D'Oyly, sole heiress to her brother. She was
twice married : first to Sir Thomas Lewknor, of Bradhurst,
CO. Sussex ; and secondly to John Deering alias de Cobham.
By her first husband she had issue two sons ;
1, Roger Lewknor, who married Margaret, daughter
of Sir John Carew, of Molesford, co. Berks, and had
issue by her at his death, 1400-1, a son and heir,
1. Sir Thomas Lewknor, who eventually, in 1403-4,
became heir of the Tregozes through his grandmother.
2. John Lewknor, on whom was settled the D'Oylys'
manor of la Denne, co. Sussex. He died leaving co-
heiresses ; from the only one of whom that married, de-
scend the Bartelotts of Stopham.
Sir Henry Tregoze, Knt. succeeded his father, but was
never summoned to Parliament as a Baron. He was lord of
Goring, however, and inherited the other extensive estates of his
family. This Sir Henry espoused Joane, daughter of Lord
Morley ; which lady surviving him married, secondly. Sir Edward
St. John, chevalier, who likewise predeceased her. She made
her will Sunday next after St. Martin's day, 12th Nov. 1385,

(widow of her son Sir Robert) ; to John her son ; to the Earl
of Arundel, an article marked with her father's arms ; to his
eldest son ; to Thomas Chamberlain, to Richard Chamberlain,
and a brown bay horse to John Pakenham, She held Goring
and all the Tregoze estates till her death, which occurring in or
before 10th Ric. II. an Inquis. post mortem being taken, it was
found that she died seised of lands in Goring, Haydon, Dades-
ham, Preston, &c. &c, and that Edward Tregoze was her grand-
son and heir, then a minor of the age of 8 years, and son of Sir
Robert Tregoze. Her issue by Sir Henry Tregoze were
I. Henry Tregoze, who had issue
1. Sir Henry Tregoze, who died s. p.
II. Thomas Tregoze, who died s. p.
III. Sir Robert Tregoze, of Goring, who married Joane,
daughter and heiress of Richard Combes, lord of the manors
of Applesham and Combes, and relict of Robert Hailsham, of
West Grinsted (whose second wife she had been) and died
about 3rd Ric. II. or soon after, leaving by her an only son
and heir
1. Edward Tregoze, of whom presently.
IV. Michael Tregoze, a monk at Lewes; who therefore
died unmarried.
V. John Tregoze, last heir male of the Tregozes ; uncle
and heir of Edward, Of him hereafter.
VL Richard Tregoze, who died s, p.
I. Joan Tregoze, wife of J . . . Lelbon ; but died s, p.
II. Margaret Tregoze, who died unmarried.
Edward Tregoze, heir to his father and grandmother, was
aged 8 in 10th Ric. II. and attained his majority in 22nd Ric. II.
(1398-9). He was married very early; first to Alice, daughter
of Ralph St. Leger, by whom he had
I. Edward Tregoze, who died s. p. v. p.
II. Tregoze (another son), who died an infant.
I. Joane Tregoze, said to have been married (though, as it
must have been before her 8th year, probably only contracted)
to Edward St. John. She seems, however, to have died s, p.
v.p.
136 PEDIGREE OF THE TREGOZE FAMILY.
Edward Tregozc married secondly, Alice, daughter of Edward
St. Joiin, and had issue by her,
III. William Tregoze,
IV. Robert Tregoze. Both of whom died early s. p.
The said Edward Tregoze died in the flower of his age, hardly
more than 23, in the 1st Hen. IV. (1399-1400), s. p. s, ; as by
his Inquis. post mort. appears; and that he died seised of
Goring, Preston, ike. &c. (all the okl i'amily estates) in Sussex ;
and that John Tregoze (son of Sir Henry) was his cousin (uncle)
and heir, and then set. 30 years. This
John Tregoze (5th son of Sir Henry, by Lord Morley's
daughter,) was born about 1369, and succeeded his above ne-
phew in the various fiimily estates, 1499 (1st Hen. IV.) He did
not, however, long enjoy them ; but died seised of them in the
5th Hen. IV. (1403-4), and the jury empanelled at his Inquis.
post mort. found, that he died s. p., and that his heir was Tho-
mas Lewknor, then aged only 12 years, the son of Roger Lewk-
nor son of Joane Lewknor, the daughter of Margaret D'Oyle,
sister of Sir Henry Tregoze, father of the deceased John. Thus
all the estates of the Tregozes, viz. Bogelie in Kent, and Goring,
Preston, Burgham, Perham, Walderton, Wigenholt, Gretham,
and Codham, in Sussex, passed through the D'Oylys into the
Lewknor family ; among the various members of the latter of
which, they were eventually divided; and thus were founded the
several branches of the Lewknors, at Goring, Preston, Walder-
ton, &c. See.
The Tregoze family, (or to speak more strictly, its surname,)
did not expire with John Tregoze who died 5th Hen. IV. There
was long afterwards a family of the name of " Tregoz alias Tre-
goies," in Cornwall. If legitimate, it is probable that these
Tregozes sprang from a scion of the Sussex branch ; as they are
said to have borne the same charges with the tinctures of blue and
gold : but this is doubtful. It might merely be an assumption :
and it is certain that some of the Cornish Tregozes bore " Ar-
gent, three foxes in full course sable."

p. 569.) " I was borne at Royton uppon M's eve's eve . . . which was y<' 27 of
September 1545? " The error probably was in the church register from which
the dates were taken.

CHARTER RELATING TO LEYSANTESTON, 32 EDW. I. 1304.
From the original in the possession of George Grant Francis, Esq.

By this charter John Turbervile grants to David de la Beare and Joan
his wife, and Peter their son, the whole vill of Leysanteston, to be
held of the chief lords thereof by the annual payment of a pair of gilt
spurs, or sixpence, at Easter. The consideration given for the grant
was forty marks sterling.
The modern name or site of Leysanteston has not been ascertained.
It was, perhaps, derived from the Welsh surname Leyshun.

CIROGRAPH BETWEEN LADY MARGARET DE ROS AND WILLIAM
DE STIRKELAND, RELATIVE TO CERTAIN CUSTOMS ON HIS
LANDS IN WESTMERELANDj &;C. 1281.
From the original in the possession of W. D. Bruce, Esq. F.S.A.
By this cirograph the lady Margaret de Ros, the lady of Kendale, re-
leased to William de Stirkeland, ancestor of the family of Strickland, of
Sizergh, various services to which his lands had hitherto been subject,
viz. all his lands in VVestmereland free from the pultura, or free-quar-
tering, of the land-serjeants, or border militia, both horsemen and foot-
men ; also all his lands in Kendale and those in Staynton, which he had
already given to his son William, free from the pultura of the land-
serjeants and foresters, both horsemen and footmen. Both parties to the
cirograph also agree that in future the proceedings in the court of the
lady Margaret should be conducted without the pi'oduction of a witness-
man on either side.
As respects the contents of this charter, it may be compared with
others contained in the History of Westmorland, by Nicolson and Burn.
By one of these (vol. i. p. 90.) Peter de Brus, the father of the lady
Margaret, granted to William de Stirkland freedom from pulture of her
foresters, as well horsemen as footmen, and also from Witnesman, in all
his lands of Hakethorp, Syresergh, Natland, and other places. Two
charters of John de Vipont, relative to the same customs, will be found
in the same volume, pp. 23, 24 .
Pulture was a right of demanding free entertainment (Nicolson and
Burn, i. p. 22.) Two etymologies have been suggested for the term,
but neither of them appear satisfactory. Cowell, in his Law Dictionary,
voce " Pultura, an examination," derives it from pulsare, as if from
knocking at the door. Sir Edward Coke, having found the word written
puture, thought it was derived hom jjotare, to drink. Several instances
of the word under the form putura will be found in the Law Dictionary
of Cowell, who, under that word, explains the custom as one " claimed
by keepers in forests, and sometimes by bailiffs in hundreds, to take
man's meat, horse meat, and dog's meat, of the tenants gratis, within
the perambulation of the forest, or liberty of the hundred :" after having
previously given Pultura as a distinct word, as above mentioned. It
may be suggested that the more probable otymology is to be drawn
from the Latin pids, a food made of meal, whence pulticula pottage,
and jmltarium the vessel in which it was made. It is well known that
the food of the labouring classes in ancient times was chiefly j)ulse.
Thus, in the book of Peterborough, all the villeins and sokemen
188 CHARTER OF LADY MARGARET DE ROS,
who had the cihum Domini, were fed on bread and beer, but not
flesh. Such was the food which ihe land-serjeants and foresters of
Kendale would have the right to claim.
Some notices of the Witnesman will be found in Nicolson and Burn
ubi supra. It is evidently a Saxon term similar Kofesterman, and equi-
valent to a mainpernor or surety-man.
Peter de Brus, the father of lady Margaret^ died in 7 Edw. I. Her
husband Robert dc Ros, who was a younger son of Robert Lord Ros of
Hamlake and Werke^ was previously deceased, in 2 Edw. I.
Sir William de Lyndesey, the first witness, was in 1281 the lord of
a moiety of the barony of Kendal. Sir Gilbert de Curwen was lord of
Workington in Cumberland,
WiUiam de Windeshover occurs, with Alan clericus, as a witness to a
charter of William de Stirkeland in 17 Edw. I. (Nicolson and Burn, i.
90) ; and again, with Thomas de Derlay, another of the witnesses to the
present document, to a charter of the same party (p. 210).

perly, I will now communicate.
In the year 1840, when, after the death of my grandfather's widow,Mrs.
.^ntonina Bayley, I compiled my family pedigree for record in the- Col-
lege of Arms, I found it necessary to pursue an inquiry respecting one
of the Honywoods with which my ancestors were nearly con-
190 MR. FRAZER HONYWOOD THE BANKER,
nected a century ago, and from whom they expected to inherit consider*
able property; but from which they were excluded, in favour of rela-
tives two degrees more distant, (viz. the Baronets Honywood,) by the
last will of the possessor, Mr. Frazer Honywood.
This inquiry brought me acquainted with an old volume, evidently a
duplicate of that described by B. W. G., a then in the possession of
Mrs. Walters of Blackheath ; from whom, through the mediation
of her medical attendant (one of my relatives,) I had the satisfaction of
perusing it ; though, the Honywoods after whom I inquired, being rather
of the Baronetcy branch than the one to which it related, my investiga-
tion received no affirmative aid from the volume. Whether this book
was that particular duplicate mentioned by B. W. G., I cannot say ;
but I recollect seeing at Mrs. Walters's house several fine old por-
traits, which I understood to be members of the Cotton family. Mrs.
Walters is now dead, and the fate of the book no doubt might be learned
at Blackheath.
While touching upon the Honywood family, I would wish to draw
your attention to a very remarkable misstatement of the pedigree in
Wotton's Baronetage 1741, whereby their branch of the family is brought
a whole degree nearer than the truth to the rich banker Mr. Frazer
Honywood ; and this by omitting the very generations and marriages
which connected him with nearer relatives. After his death the truth
came out ; and Hasted was the first to put it in print, viz. in his elaborate
History of Kent ; but there can be no doubt, that it blinded Frazer
Honywood to the true state of his pedigree, and probably induced him
to leave the bulk of his immense property to the Baronets (there repre-
sented as being of as near kin to him as any one else, which was very
far from the truth,) and to cut out its more rightful expectants.
The way the true pedigree came out was this : Frazer Honywood, by
his last will, 1 763, while devising the Mailing Abbey and Hampstead
estates to Ins Jbi0'th cousin, the Baronet Honywood, left also a legacy of
20,000?, to be divided among his other relatives. After his death, in
17C4, more than four hundred persons put in claims for a share of this
celebrated bequest {vide Ambler's Reports) ; but the majority were of
course set aside. By, however, an interlocutory decree in Chancery,
17G9, a portion of it was assigned to the testator's second cousins, Anne
and Margaretta Burren, (the former of whom notices it in her will,
1770, as mentioned in page 65 of the present volume j) these ladies
being maternal aunts of the said William Barnet, previously Barry, to
whom, at the death of the latter, the sum went as her residuary legatee,
A.D, 1784. Wotton's pedigree stands thus :

According to Wotton's version of the pedigree, the Baronet was half

not be easily concealed), and the Bakers, who were no nearer than
themselves, they, the Baronets, were the most rightful successors to his
property.
That Mr. Honywood was led to believe he had no nearer relatives is
probable from his last will ; but I shall now disclose the actual facts of
the case.

192 MR. FRAZER HONYWOOD THE BANKER.
By tliis pedigree it will be seen that, excepting Mrs, Merrell's
issue (which I believe expired in his, Frazcr Honywood's, lifetime)
he had no relatives nearer than second cousins ; viz. the descendants
of brothers or sisters of his maternal grand-parents Frazer, the de-
scendants of the sisters of his grandfather Honywood, and the descend-
ants of the sisters of his grandmother Honywood, previously Pycheford j
with which last relatives (the Burrens d) his uncle Edward Honywood
had lived in intimate friendship, as his last will plainly proves. That
the great banker had Frazer relations is also certain, for he mentions
them in his will : but the Burrens, &c. were quite as near ; and, I may
add, were descended from that common ancestor with him, whence his
family obtained the foundation of all their wealth, viz, Wilham Pycheford,
in whom the two families were coheirs ; added to which, I very strongly
suspect that the Honywood's bank was only a continuation of the very
extensive goldsmith business of their uncle by marriage, Richard Hodi-
low, (maternal grandfather of the Misses Burren ;) Richard Hodilow
having no son of, his own to succeed him therein ; so that the Burrens
were fully entitled to look for as much as any other of the cousins, if not
more, seeing that the property (and that at Hampstead most especially)
was derived from their ancestors ; and, no doubt, had they been in a
position to have induced the rich banker to live like his uncle at
Hampstead, instead of spending half the year in Kent near the Baronets,
justice would have been done. As it was, however, they had only the
mortification of proving themselves far closer kindred than the principal
devisee, (they being second cousins and he s. fourth cousin,) viz. to
obtain a share of the charitable bequest to the testator's pauper rela-
tions— for otherwise they were not named in his will.
I presume that a full pedigree must have been compiled for the Court
of Chancery (and there deposited), after Mr. Honywood's decease. I
made a very extensive search in Chancery Lane, both personally and by
deputy, but was unable to find such a document ; indeed, in searching
the calendars, the Cause was soon lost sight of, so that I have reason to
suppose some of the parties must have died, and the suit been renewed
in other names. The facts, however, which I have here communicated,
are fully substantiated by the authorities I have mentioned; and my motive
for troubling you with this prolix history is, that the " four hundred "
relatives putting in claims for a share of the legacy, renders [the case a
not very inappropriate supplement to that of tlie extraordinary fecundity
of Mary Honywood, previously Waters. No doubt the Honywood vo-
lume, detailing her progeny, was brought into request at Frazer Hony-
wood's decease. I am. Sir, yours, &c.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE PRESENT STATE OF YOUGHAL CHURCH,
INCLUDING MEMORIALS OF THE BOYLES ; THE COLLEGE, AND
SIR WALTER RALEIGIl's HOUSE.
YouGHAL is a considerable sea-port town in the south of
Ireland, situate at the mouth of the river Blackwater and die
eastern extremity of the county of Cork. It was anciently
called Ochill, which signifies wood or forest, many remains of
which are constantly found beneath the surface of the neigh-
bourino- country.
The walls of this town still remain in tolerable preservation,
althoui^h we are informed it suffered much in various sieoes. ^
It was taken and sacked by the Earl of Desmond in the year 1579.
It was again assailed by Fitz-Gerald, Seneschal of Imokilly, in
the year 1582. It was again besieged by the Earl of Castle-
haven in 1641, and defended successfully by the great Earl of
Cork with much loss to the Irish army.
Youglml was fn-st incorporated in the second year of the reign
of King Edward the Fourth, through the interest of Thomas
Earl of Desmond, who, in 14G3, was made Lord Deput\' of
Ireland. It has charters from Richard III., Henry VII., Eliza-
beth, and James I.
The religious-houses founded in this town were two; one
situated at the north, the other at the south end. That on
the north was founded in 12G8 by Thomas Fitz-Maurice Fitz-
Gerald for Friars Preachers ; and after the dissolution of such
establishments was granted to Sir Walter Raleigh. The only
part of it now remaining is the western window, and very little
of the side walls. The south abbey has been completely removed.
It was founded by Maurice Fitz-Gerald in 1231, or according
to Holinshed in 1229, for friars of the Franciscan order. This
was first granted to George Isham, and afterwards purchased by
Sir Richard Boyle, first Earl of Cork.

VOL. II. Q '
194 ACCOUNT OF YOUGHAL CHURCH,
But the most important object of antiquity in Youglial is the
collegiate church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The college was
founded by Thomas Fitz Gerald, Earl of Desmond, on 27th
December 1464, after which he rebuilt and beautified the church.
It is an interesting remnant of by-gone days, though much
disfigured by modern alterations. The nave is about forty-
five yards long and twenty-two broad, and is the only part
now used for the celebration of divine worship. The main
walls at each side of the centre aisle are cut into six lofty
pointed arches, behind which there are back aisles running
parallel. The chancel or choir is without a roof, but the walls
and windows are little injured by time. The east window (of
course without glass) is in other respects quite perfect, and pre-
sents a magnificent and most beautiful specimen of the architec-
ture of its period. On the north side of the church stands a
square tower about fifty feet high, overlooking the town walls,
which are very near, and evidently intended to answer as well for
a place of defence as for a belfry, to which purpose it is now
appropriated. There are two chapels attached to this church,
one north, the other south.
The latter was called the Chauntry of our Blessed Saviour.
Richard Boyle, the first Earl of Cork of that family, purchased it
from the mayor and corporation March 29th 1606, and in it
erected a splendid monument for himself and family. This is
composed of white, red, grey, and black marble of the most
expensive kinds; it is admirably sculptured and constructed,
and reaches nearly to the roof of the chapel, which is very lofty.
The effigy of the Earl (exceedingly well executed) is represented
in a splendid suit of engraved russet and gold armour of the
reign of James the First. It has double tassets, and is richly
ornamented throughout. His head is uncovered (the face being
probably a complete likeness), and he leans on his left hand
supported by a cushion. Over his shoulders, and the paldrons
of the armour, are capes or lappets of an earl's mantle of state,
which hangs down behind to his feet. Underneath, along the
ledge of the moiiument, are a number of small figures repre-
senting his children, with the dates of their births on their re-
spective pedestals, viz. : 1st. Roger Boyle, natus 1 August 1606.
2nd. Richard Boyle, natus 20 October 1612. 3rd. Galfridus
Boyle, natus 10 April 1616. (He was drowned in the college

well.) 4th. Lewis Boyle, natus 23 Martii 1619. 5th. Alicia
Boyle, nata 20 Martii 1607. 6th. Sarah Boyle, nata 29 Martii
1609. 7th. Letitia Boyle, nata 23 April IGIO. 8th. Joana
Boyle, nata 14 Junii 1611. 9th. Catharina Boyle, nata 22 Martii
1614. At the Earl's feet, kneeling, under a canopy supported
by rich pillars of costly red marble, is the figure of his first
wife, Joan, daughter and coheir of William Appesly, Esq.
Her dress represents the richest figured satin or velvet, of a
dark purple colour. She wears a ruff, and her hair quite erect
and off her face and forehead. At his head, is the effigy of
his second wife (the Countess of Cork), in the same posture, and
wearing a Countess' robe of state with a ruff. She was daughter
of Sir Geoffry Fenton.
The faces particularly of these figures are admirably sculp-
tured. Over each is an escucheon, of pure white marble, im-
paling Boyle, with their arms respectively, viz. Boyle, Party per
bend crenelle, argent and gules. For Appesly, Barry of six ar-
gent and gules, with a canton ermine in dexter corner. For
Fenton, Argent, a cross azure between four fleurs-de-lis sable.
At the top lies the effigy of the Earl's mother, ^ Joan, daughter
of Robert Naylor, Esq. of Canterbury, habited in the full dress
of Queen Elizabetii's day, with large straw hat, ruff, and far-
dingale. And over her again are the full arms of Boyle
alone, with the EarPs crest and supporters, as at present used by
the Earl of Cork and Orrery. There are also these lines :
" Precatio Viventis.
Quam patre, quam prole, et gemino quam conjuge faustam
Fecisti, O faustam fac faciendo tuam."
In the centre, over the effigy of the Earl, is a large surface
of black stone, on which are the following inscriptions :
" Richard Earl of Cork married two wives, the first
Joan, one of the two daughters and coheirs of William Appesly,
^ Her brother, Robert Naylor, was Dean of Limerick, and his daughter Margaret
was married to John Drew, Esq. of Kilwinny, co. Cork, and of Meanus, co. Kerry.
The Earl of Cork was a party to the marriage settlement, still preserved, and gave
his cousin an additional fortune. The Dean also had a son, who seems to have
been a military person, from his portrait in armour at Balliiiatray house, and anotlier
in possession of Rev. P. W. Drew, Strand House, Youghal. See Drew pedigree,
page 212. He never married. Margaret Naylor's costly and embroidered purse
is also still preserved in the Drew family.

who died in travail of her first son, which did not survived her.
The second wife was Katliarine, the only daughterof Sir Geoff'ry
Fenton, Knt. Secretary of State in Ireland, by wliom he had
issue 7 sons and 8 daughters."
Under this are three escucheons : first, Boyle and Appesly
impaled. 2nd. Boyle with Appesly and Fenton quartered ;
and 3rd. Boyle with Fenton impaled ; and this inscription :
" The Lady Margaret Boyle, eighth daughter of the
Earl of Cork, died, and lyeth here intombed."
On the right side, in the manner of a genealogical table, arc
the following inscriptions, with respective coats of arms :
" Sir Richard Boyle, Knt. son and heir apparent to Richard
Earl of Cork, married Elizabeth, eldest of the two daughters
and coheirs of Henry Lord Clifford Earl of Cumberland, and
hath issue."
" Sir Lem'is Boyle, Knt. Lord Boyle, Baron of Bandon-
bridge and Lord Viscount Boyle, Kinalmeaky, second son of
Richard Earl of Cork, married the Lady Elizabeth, daughter
of Sir William Fielding, Knt. Lord Baron of Newenham Padox,
Viscount Fielding and Earl of Denbigh. Slain in the battle of
Liscarrol, Sept. 3rd 1642."
" Sir Roger Boyle, Knt. Lord Boyle, Baron of Broghill,
third son of Richard Earl of Cork, married the Lady Margaret,
daughter of Theophilus Lord Howard of Walden, Earl of
Suffolk."
" Francis Boyle, Esq., fourth son of Richard Earl of Cork,
married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Killigrew, Knt. late
Vice-Chamberlain to Mary Queen of England."
" Robert Boyle, Esq., fifdi son of Richard Earl of Cork."
" Roger Boyle, eldest son of Richard Earl of Cork, being
a scholar at Deptford, in Kent, died there the 10th of October
1615, and there lies intombed."
" Geoffry Boyle, third son of Richard Earl of Cork, died
young on die 20di Jan. 1616, and lieth here intombed."
To each of these are escucheons of Boyle impaling their re-
spective matches; and next, on the left hand, are die following-
inscriptions relative to the Earl's daughters, impaling Boyle, with
the arms of their respective husbands.
" David Lord Barry, Lord Viscount Buttevant, first
Earl of Barrymore, married the Lady Alice Boyle, first
daughter of Richard, Earl of Cork,"
COLLEGE, AND SIR W. RALEIGH's HOUSE. 197
" Robert Lord Digby, Baron of Geashil, married the
Lady Sarah Boyle, second daughter of Richard Earl of Cork,
being then the widow of Sir Thomas Moore, Knt., son and heir
to Garret Lord Moore, Lord Viscount of Droglieda."
" Colonel George Goring, son and heir to Sir George
Goring, Knt. Lord Baron Goring of Hurstpierpoint, married
the Lady Lettice Boyle, third daughter of Richard Earl of Cork."
" George Fitz-Gerald, Earl or Kildare, married the
Lady Joan Boyle, fourth daughter of Richard Earl of Cork."
" Arthur Jones, Esq. son and heir of Sir Roger Jones,
Knt. Lord Viscount Ranelagh, married the Lady Katherine
Boyle, the fifth daughter of Richard Earl of Cork."
" Sir Arthur Loftus, Knt. son and heir of Sir Adam Loftus,
Knt. Vice-Treasurer and Treasurer at Wars in Ireland, married
the Lady Dorodiy Boyle, the sixth dau. of Richard Earl of Cork."
" Charles Rich, Esq. second son of Robert Lord Rich
of Leize, Earl of Warwick, married the Lady Mary Boyle,
the seventh daughter of Richard Earl of Cork."
In the centre, between these inscriptions, is the following : —
" Richardus Boyle, miles, dominus Boyle baro de Youghal,

mus hujus regni Hibernite thesaurarius, et de privato concilio

Beneath this are the following, viz.
" Hie jacet corpus reverendi patris Johannis Boyle, sacraj

nicarum rebellione optime merens, vereeque Christianae religio-
nis cultor praecipuus, qui obiit 29 die Septembris 1642, annoque
astatis suae 38."
This monument is guarded by an iron railing painted red ; at
each end of which are escucheons formed of iron plates, and
painted with the arms of Boyle impaled with Appesly and Fen-
ton respectively, and in the centre a lozenge (doubtless) for his
mother, viz. Quarterly, 1st. Ermine, a cock gules and chief azure;
2nd, Argent, three horses passant sable.
This beautiful and superb monument, which had been rapidly
falling to decay, has been recently restored in the most perfect
manner by order of Francis E. Currey, Esq. the Duke of Devon-
shire's agent in Ireland, and under the superintendence of the
Rev. P. M. Drew. Since the restoration of this chancel, the
effigies of a nobleman and his wife, supposed to be the Earl and
Countess of Desmond, in the costume of the 13th century, have
been deposited within it. Where these originally lay, is not
known.
On the next wall in this chapel is a beautiful tablet of white
Italian marble in the shape of an escucheon, to the memory of
the famous Lord Broghill, the first Earl of Orrery, third son of
the Earl of Cork :
" Memorise Sacrum

Qui dum vixit multis pariter et summis
Honoribus et Officiis fungebatur ;

De quo non hie plura requirat lector,
quoniam omnia de ingenio et moribus

vel ex operibus, dignoscere possit."
Near the wall, immediately opposite to the Earl ot" Cork's
monument, is a plain flat stone with the following inscription :
" Here lies the body of Sir Edward Villieks, who dyed
Lord President of Munster, anno Dom. 16 — ."
Then follows this additional inscription, in a kind of running
hand, and most probably written at an after period :
" Munster may curse the time that Villiers came.
To make us worse, by leaving such a name
Of noble parts, as none can imitate,
But those whose hearts are married to the state ;
But if they press to imitate his fame his fame,
Munster may bless the time that Villiers came."
This Sir Edward Villiers was ancestor to the Earls of Gran-
dison of Dromana, co. Waterford ; which title is now extinct in
that family, who nevertheless are at present represented by Lord
Stuart de Decies of Dromana. He was also ancestor of the
Earls of Jersey.
In the same chapel there is also a large altar tomb, on which
lie the effigies of a man and his wife, cut rudely in limestone,
and apparently in the costume of the period of Queen Mary ;
the man wears a small ruff, and a civic gown. On the stone,
supporting their feet^ is the following inscription :
" Here lyeth the bodies of Richard Bennet and Ellis
Barry his wife, the first foundress of this chapel, which, being
demolished in time of rebellion and their tomb defaced, was
re-edified by Richard Lord Boyle, Baron of Youghal, who, for
reviving the memory of them, repaired this tomb, and had their
effigies cut in stone placed thereon, Anno Domini 16 J 9."
We next pass to the nave of the church, at the extreme end
of which, immediately before the communion table, on a plain
flat stone, is the following inscription :
" Here lieth the body of John Fitz-Gerald, of the Decies,
who departed this life the 1st of March, An. Dom. 1664. Also,
here lieth the body of Katherine his wife, daughter of the
Lord John Power, Baron of Curroghmore, who departed this
200 ACCOUNT OF YOUGHAL CHURCH,
life 22ik1 of August, An. Dom. 1660, who were removed by the
Earl of Grandison, their grandson, to this vault, in the year
1736. And here also are interred his two daughters, the Ladies
Anne and Katherine Villiers. Also his son the Right Hon.
William Lord Villiers, who dyed the 16th day of December
1739."
The last Earl of Grandison of the Vilhers family and his
Countess were interred in this vault, thoutjh no inscription
mentions it. The vault was explored not long ago, the open-
ing of it having become necessary in consequence of alterations
in the church, and the Earl's coffin, with a richly gilt coronet at
its head, and all its other varied ornaments, were found in a per-
fect state.
On the wall, at the right-hand side of the communion table,
there is a very handsome monument of white Italian marble,
with this inscription :
" Sacred to the memory of
Grice Smyth, Esq.
of Ballinatre, in the county of Waterford,
who, after having endured
a most painful illness for ten years,
with perfect resignation to the will of God,
departed this life in the city of Limerick,
on the 1st day of January, An. Dom. 1816,
in the 51st year of his age.
His remains are deposited near this place,
in the same tomb
with those of his ancestors,^ the Earls of Cork and Burlington.
As a brother, husband, parent, friend,
he was most affectionate, generous, and sincere.
This monument is erected to his memory
by his widow,
Mary Broderick Smyth,
daughter to the late Henry Mitchell, Esq.
of Mitchell's fort,
in testimony of her esteem and love."
" As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten ; be zealous there-
fore and repent." Rev. iii chap. 19 ver.
'^ The Earls of Cork and Burlington can hardly be considered ancestors of the
Smyth family. See the relationship specified on Lord Cork's momimeiit.

On this monument there is the figure of a female weeping
over an urn, extremely well executed, and at the top, the armo-
rial bearings of the family, carved in marble and coloured, viz.
1 and 4, Argent, on a bend azure' three mascles or, between
two unicorn's heads erased sable, for Smyth. 2nd, Quar-
terly gules and azure, on a bend argent three boars courant
sable. 3rd, Argent, a chevron between three bucks passant

three mascles or three trefoils of the first. Crest : out of a ducal
coronet. Gules, a demi-bull salient argent, armed or. Motto,
" Cum plena magis."
On the wall immediately opposite is a tablet of white marble,
with the following inscription :
" Sacrum Memorise

Underneath an escucheon, a chevron between two pheons in
chief, and a lion passant in base. Crest : a coronet supporting a
pheon. Motto, " L'Amour et Loyaute."
On the same side of the church is another tablet of white
marble, and a female head in relief over it, with the following
inscription :
" In the fimiily vault
near this place, lie interred
the remains of Elizabeth Hayman,
202 ACCOUNT OF YOUGHAL CHURCH,
daughter of the late Rev. Atkin Hayman,
who departed this Hfe
on the 29th day of January 1790.
Samuel Hayman erected this monument
as a last tribute of affection
to a sister
who was beloved and is regretted by all who knew her.
" Lo ! soft Remembrance drops a pious tear ;
And holy Friendship sits a mourner here."
A little further on, there is another large tablet of plain white
marble, with this inscription, viz.
" In the cemetery of Kilnerath,
among the ashes of her parents and relatives,
are deposited the remains of
Eliza, daughter of Henry White, Esq. of Newross,
and wife of Walter Atkin Hayman, Esq.
of Youghal.
She died at Carmarthen, South Wales,
on her return from the
Hot Wells,
August 22nd 1800, aged 34.
Reader,
This tablet was erected to remind thee,
that, although neither filial piety,
conjugal affection, correct conduct, nor sincere religion,
can arrest the stroke of death ;
yet a life like hers,]
employed in every Christian excellence,
holds forth a bright example,
supplies fortitude,
confirms the hope of immortality,
and disarms death of its terror.'^
At the top, an escutcheon of white marble, bearing a chevron
charged with three cinquefoils between three martlets. (The
colours not defined.)
There are also two more tablets of white marble in this part
of the church, which have been very recently fixed there. One
to the memory of Thomas John, of Youghal, merchant, who
died 25th April 1837, in his 84th year; the other to the memory
of John Iiiwin, M.D. who died 4th July 1843, in his 38th year.

On the flag stones in the centre aisle may be read the follow-
ing inscriptions, viz.
*' Here lieth the body of Robert Benger, who departed this
life January 10th 1761, aged 51. Also the bodies of his father,
mother, and brother."
** Here lies the body of James Sprat, M.D., not more dis-
tinguished for his skill than probity in his profession ; a tender,
humane, honest physician, who departed this life 31st day of May,
in the year of our Lord 1766, and in the 51st year of his age."
" Here lieth the body of the Rev. Nathaniel France,
Chaunter of the Cathedral of Cloyne, and Curate assistant of
Youghal for nearly 10 years. Died July 1st 1770, aged 72."
" Here lieth the body of Peter Goodwin, Burgess of Youg-
hal, who died 28 Sept. 1660."
On a stone tablet near the font is this inscription : "^' Here
lie the remains of Alderman John Mills, and his children."
At the foot of the stairs leading to the north gallery, " Ro-
bert Ball, Alderman, departed this life 1 1th January 1724.
His son Henry, Alderman, died 2nd June 1741, aged 56."
In the centre of the great middle aisle are the following in-
scriptions :
" Elizabeth Giles, wife of John Luther, died the 4th day
of December 1661. Alderman Luther ^ died 18th of Decem-
ber 1697, aged 74."
" Richard Giles, ^ several times Mayor of the town, and
nephew of the above Elizabeth, departed this life in 1 727."
On some oak panels, which now form the back of a seat near
the passage leading to the north back aisle, is the following in-
scription :
" A burial for Christas
Hartford here is made.
Where he and his intend
For to be laid."
At the top are painted the royal arms, indicating that Hart-
ford was once Mayor of Youghal, which was the case in the
year 1618. Immediately under is an escucheon. Gules, on a
fess or, three trefoils sable. Crest, a leopard passant, armed,

chained, and collared, holding a trefoil in his dexter paw. This
is for Hartford. On the right with this coat is impaled, Azure,
a chevron or, between two fleurs-de-lis in chief, and a lion ram-
pant in base, argent. On the left is also impaled with Hartford,
Argent, three roses, two and one. These arms no doubt be-
longed to C. Hartford's wives.
On a wooden tablet on the wall of the north chapel, now
forming the vestry-room, is the following inscription :
" The Jones family.
" Near this spot lie the remains of Edward Jones, son of
the Rev. Matthew Jones, Archdeacon of Lismore, and grandson
of Edward Jones, Bishop of Cloyne. Also the remains of Mat-
thew Jones, collector of Youghal, son of the above Edward
Jones, father to Melina Hayman. The other relatives of Ed-
ward Jones are also interred in the same place."
Near this there are also other wooden tablets commemoratinfj
the charitable bequests of a few individuals to the poor of Youg-
hal, viz.
"John Perry, Esq. who died October 29, 1712, bequeathed
the interest of 300/. to be distributed to the poor at the church
door every 29 day of May." On this tablet there is an escucheon,
viz. Gules, three pears proper, on a chief argent a demi-leopard
rampant.
Another benefactor to the poor was a Mr. Spencer, who
died in 1696; his armorial bearings are. Argent, a fess between
three lions rampant gules.
Also Mr. John Re a, who bequeathed the interest of 100/.
Two of his lineal descendants received some of it, together with
the other Protestant poor of the parish, at the last distribution.
" Thomas Cozens, Esq. of Young Grove, in the county of
Cork, left 17/. 3.9. Sd. to be distributed annually. He died 27
Nov. 1783.
" Alderman Thomas Croker, who died 4th of January 1718,
aged 66, left 4/. per ann. to the poor of the corporation, to be
distributed every St. Thomas's day.'^
On a flag stone, immediately near the baptismal font (which is
very ancient, of carved stone, with a curiously carved wooden
cover) there is this inscription : " Here lieth the bodies of Mary,
wife of Alderman Gregory Salter, who died 1.5 Sept. 1733,
aged 76 : also of her daughters Allice and Hannah, and Re-

Near this, on another flag-stone :

We nov/ pass into the Vestry-room, formed out of part of the
north chapel, and which contains some monuments.
There is a large and rudely carved tombstone fastened in the
wall, with this date " 1557;" it formerly covered the tomb of
the Uniacke family near this spot ; the characters are illegible.
There is a large and rudely formed monument to the Mead
i'amily here. They seem to have been nearly connected with
the Uniackes, a very ancient family in this neighbourhood, ori-
ginally called Fitz-Gerald ; but one of them undertaking an
enterprise that no one else would dare, he was afterwards called
the Unus, or only one; and so the name Uniacke, as I have
been informed. Uniacke is the Irish formation of Unus, as I
have seen it spelled Uniagh.
The inscription on this tomb is,
" D. O. M.

On the top is written,
" Underneath is the burying place of the family of Mount
Uniack. 1761."
On an escucheon of white marble, a chevron between three
trefoils. Crest, an eagle displayed, with two heads.
On a tablet of white marble there is this inscription :
" Sacred to the memory
of Helena Uniacke, wife of
Richard Uniacke,
who departed this life the 15th day of September 1779,-
in the 35th vear of her age.
Her husband has lost a faithful affectionate wife,
» So the original, but ou, suis .'—Edit,
206 ACCOUNT OF YOUGHAL CHURCH,
her chiklren an attentive tender mother,
and by her friends she is sincerely lamented."
On another similar tablet :
" Sacred
to the memory of
John Uniacke, of Cottage, Esq. who
departed this life 9th September 1793,
aged 77.
He was a friend to the poor and the oppressed."
In a small chamber, inside the vestry-room, near the north
wall, is a large altar-tomb with this inscription round the margin :
" Here lieth the body of Thomas Houldshipp, sometimes
Mayor of Youghal, who dyed 23rd of March 1642."
On the centre of the same stone :
" Here lies the body of Thomas Shepard, who died October
14th 1713."
On an escucheon of red marble, three lions passant. Crest,
a demi-lion rampant. Mayor of Youghal in 1621.
In the chancel or choir at the right side of the altar, is a very
ancient tomb in a niche with a pointed arch, all sides of which
are richly ornamented with elaborately carved stone. It is very
probable that this recess contained an effigy, but at present no-
thino- indicates the person thus honoured, except a very brief
inscription :
" Hie jacet Thomas Fleming."
The Hayman, Giles, and Parker families have their places of
interment within this choir.
On a stone over the last is this inscription : " Here lies the
body of Lieut.-Colonel Richard Parker, who died Nov. 25th
1786, aged 62."
Immediately under the beautiful east window, on the outside,
is an erect tombstone fastened to the wall, with this inscription :
" Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth, youngest daughter of
Colonel Adrian Scrope, ofWarmsley, in the county of Ox-
ford, widow of Jonathan Blagrave, D.D. of Longworth, in the
county of Berks. Born in the year 1655, aged 83 years."
Colonel Adrian Scrope was one of the Regicides, and exe-
cuted, together with Colonel Thomas Scot, 17th of Oct. 1660.
Colonel Thomas Scot desired that it might be written on his
tomb-Stone, '' Here lies Thomas Scot, who adjudged to death

the late King." His daughter Mary was married to Quintin
Osborne, Esq. M.D. ; their son was Quintin Osborne, Esq. whose
daughter Ehzabeth married Charles Seward, Esq. One of the
daughters of this union, Martha Seward, married Thomas Oliver,
Esq., and their only daughter and heir married the Rev. Pierce
William Drew.
On an old stone in the churchyard the following words are
barely legible : " Here lie the bodies of my 2 grandmothers,
maiden names. Fox and Chubb."
The churciiyard is very extensive, occupying a considerable
portion of the hill immediately over the town. It is well planted,
judiciously intersected by walks, and nearly surrounded by the
ancient walls of the town : nothing of the kind can be more
picturesque and beautiful.
The next object worthy of attention in Youghal, is the house
commonly denominated the College, at present in possession of
the Duke of Devonshire.
This establishment was founded the 2Tth of December 1464
by Thomas Earl of Desmond. The community at first consisted
of a warden, eight fellows, and eight singing men, who lived in a
collegiate manner, having a common table, &,c. The whole
donation was originally worth 600/. per ann. and the house was
afterwards endowed with a number of parsonages and vicarao-es.
The last person who held the wardenship on the ancient terms
was Dr. Meredith Hanmer. It then became vested or merged
in the bishopric of Cork and Cloyne, in the person of Dr.
Richard Boyle. The house and grounds attached, which are very
beautiful, and peculiarly interesting from their past associations
and history, became the property of Sir Walter Raleio-h, then
of Mr. Jones, next of Sir George Carew, Lord President of Mun-
ster, who sold it to Sir Richard Boyle, afterwards Earl of Cork, who
alludes to this house in one of his papers, in the followino- terms,
viz. " My second son Richard was born at the College of Youg-
hal, the 20th of October 1612. The Earl of Thomond, Sir
Richard Aldworth, f and Mr. Thomas Ball, of London, were his
f Sir Richard Aldworth was lineal ancestor of the Rev. John Aldworth the pre-
sent Rector of the parish of Youghal, second son of the late Robert Rogers Aid-
worth, Esq. of Newmarket House, co. Cork.

godfathers, and Lady Anne Parsons godmother. God grant he
may serve and I'ear him religiously, and be a faithful subject and
servant to the King's Majesty and his heirs, and live many years
full of good works and of virtuous children, and be a worthy
pillar and patriot in this kingdom. He being Viscount Dun-
garvan, was knighted in my house at Youghal, 13th August 1624,
by the Lord Faulkland, Deputy General of Ireland. And my
said son departed Dublin, to begin his travels into foreign king-
doms, the 4th June 1632, I allowing him one thousand pounds
a year in his travels." The College, which is a fine house, flanked
by two handsome towers, is the property of his Grace the Duke
of Devonshire, having, with Lismore Castle and a large estate
in Ireland, passed with the heiress of the Boyles into the Caven-
dish family.
Another object worthy of antiquarian notice in Youghal, is
the warden's house, now called Myrtle Grove, from the number,
size, and luxuriance of the myrtle-trees, which have flourished
within its precincts for ages back, but which, alas ! have been
greatly injured by the late occupier. This house resembles
closely some of the ancient manor or parsonage houses in Eng-
land ; but is greatly disfigured by modern alterations. The
walls are four feet in width, and the chimnies very lofty ; the
oreater part of the house is paneled with black oak ; but in the
drawing-room particularly the oak is better preserved, and the
carving of the mantelpiece is extremely handsome. Sir Walter
Raleio-li owned this house also, and is said to have resided in it
while mayor of Youghal in the year 1588. In the gardens are
four yew-trees, said to have been planted by Sir Walter ; they
are very lofty, and form a square with a complete canopy at the
top. Here also potatoes, originally brought from Virginia, were
first planted in Ireland. It is said that the person who had first
carelessly put them into the ground, tried the apples which he
saw on the stock in the first instance, and finding their taste dis-
agreeable, he disregarded them for an entire year, after which
they were discovered greatly increased. It is moi*e probable that
Sir Walter Raleigh, who really had imported them from Vir-
o-inia, planted them in these gardens, and shewed the right use
of them. After which they circulated over Ireland, and we can-
not say to the advantage of that unfortunate country.
THE FAMILY OF DREW, 209
In the days of witchcraft, Youghal had its witch in the
person of Florence Newton. (Sec her trial in Glanvil, p. 313.)
Also the celebrated Valentine Greatrakes performed many of
his cures liere. (See Granger.) Valentine was ancestor of
the families of Drew and Power (as noticed in the next page.)

GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF DREW.
TiiK Stivji of tills ancient family, as Prince in liis AVortliics of Devon
expresses himself, was Drogo or Dru, who, as Lysons in his Britannia
informs ns, was a noble Norman, son of Walter de Ponz, third son of
Richard Duke of Normandy, grandfather of tlie Conqueror, (see
Barony of Clifford in Debrett's Peerage,) and brother of Richard
ancestor of the Chftbrds, and had seventy-three manors in Devon
at tlie time of the Domesday Survey. See the Domesday Book. His
grandson Drogo de Tign was lord of Tignton Drew in Devon in the
reign of Henry II. and, as Sir William Pole states, "both gave name and
took name from that manor." " By time's continuance," Risdon says,
" this name was mollified into Drew." and it has flourished with oreat
reputation in the county of Devon from the Norman Conquest to tlje
present time. Camden derives it thus : " Dru, in Latine Druoo or
Drogo, subtile, as callidus in Latine, if it come from the Saxon or Ger-
man ; but if it come from the French, lively and lusty (Nicotius)." See
Camden's Remains. Prince gives a curious deed dated 4th year of Ed-
ward IV. by which it was provided that the rents of certain messuages
uearModbury be applied towards maintaining an honest chaplain to pray
for the souls of John Drew, Esq. and Joan his wife, Henry Drew, Esq. and
his three wives. Sir Richard Champernon, Sir Thomas Carew, and otliers.
The branch in Ireland derive descent through the Pomoroys from the
De Mules, De Camvilles, De Valletorts, De Vcrnons, De Veres, De Vi-
treis, up to a daughter of Henry I. King of England.
Francis Drew, Esq. second son of John Drew, Esq. of Drewscliff,
VOL. II, P
210 GENEALOGY OF THE
Hayne, and Sharpham, In Devon, the first who settled in Ireland, came
thither a young man, a Captain in Queen Elizabeth's army, and towards
the close of her reign. He purchased the estate of Meanus, in the
county of Kerry, in the year 1 633, having previously resided at Kil-
winny in the county of \^'aterford. " Together with all others of Eng-
lish blood," as the ancient Memorial says, " he was expelled from
Kerry by the Irish rebels in the bloody year lG-11, and his title deeds
seized by a notorious Irish insurgent, one Cahir Teige O'Connor."
Soon after this he died. His second wife was Susanna Knowle of
Youghal in the county of Cork, afterward married to Colonel John
Johnson ; her sister Margaret was married to Lieutenant Thomas Maun-
sell, who defended the Castle of Mocollup, in the county of Waterford,
in the most gallant manner against Cromwell's forces in 1650, and who
was afterwards interred within the old church immediately near, where
his tomb remained until the church was taken down about the beginning
of the present century. The inscription, however, had been previously
committed to a paper, still preserved, by Mrs. Drew of Mocollup castle.
The following is an accurate copy :
" Here lyeth the body of Livetenant Thom's Maunsell, who departed
this life the 13th day of March, an. Dom. 1686. Here lyeth also the
body of Mrs. Marg'tt Maunsell his wife, who departed this life the 2nd
day of February, anno Dom. 1679."
This Francis's eldest son, John, married Margaret eldest daughter of
the Very Rev, Robert Naylor, Dean of Limerick. An old original paper
still extant, states that John and Robert Naylor, the uncles of Richard
Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, followed him over to Ireland. They were
the brothers of Joan the Earl's mother. The Earl of Cork gave his
cousin Margaret Naylor in marriage to John Drew, Esq. with an addi-
tional fortune, and was a party to the settlement, as appears from the
deed still extant.
Francis's second son, Barry, the first of the Drewscourt family
in the county of Limerick, married first, a daughter of Sir Francis
Foulkes, Knt. of Camphire, county of Waterford ; and secondly, Ruth
Nettles, of Tourine, daughter of William Nettles, Esq. by Mary,
sister of the celebrated Valentine Greatrakes, Esq. of Affane Castle, in
the same county. Valentine Greatrakes was one of the most remark-
able men of his age. He possessed the extraordinary power of curing
diseases by simply stroking the parts affected, with his hand, Robert
Boyle, the great Christian philosopher, frequently bore witness to the
fact. His own Ufe, written by himself, and printed in 1G6G, is still
extant, and seems to have been written with truth and candour. His
memory is still (juite fresh in the county of Waterford. (See an account
FAMILY OF DREW. 211
of him in Granger.) Tlie Nettles family got possession of Tourine Castle
on the forfeiture of the Lord Roche after 1641.
The just mentioned Barry Drew, Esq. was receiver to the estates of
the second Earl of Cork, and, together with Sir Francis Foulkes, Knt.
and Richard Musgrave, Esq. was Commissioner for the restoration of
these estates after the Revolution. His house of Ballyduff, in county
of Waterford, still stands, a complete and beautiful specimen of the
strong castellated houses generally erected in Ireland towards the close
of Elizabeth's reign, and all through that of James and Charles follow-
ing. It has stone casemented windows, flanking towers loopholed from
top to bottom, a court-yard elaborately paved, and surrounded with a
parapet wall loopholed along its whole range.
Francis Drew, Esq. the second of that Christian name in the Irish
line, and the son of John and Margaret, suftered great losses during the
war previous to the Revolution. His place at Kilwinny, co. Waterford,
was completely laid waste by King James's army, and the house, with a
great deal of property, utterly burnt and destroyed. He served as volun-
teer in King William's army at the battle of Aughrim, and also at the
sieges of Athlone, Galway, and Limerick. He was a most devoted
Protestant, as several letters of his still extant prove : and his remains
were interred under his own seat in the church of Castle Island, co.
Kerry. His wife was Rebecca Pomeroy, a descendant of Joel de la
Pomerai, lord of Biry or Berry in Devon, who married a daughter of
King Henry the First, and sister of Reginald Earl of Cornwall. The
Pomeroys married into the knightly families of De Mules, De Camville,
De Vere, De Vernon, De Vallctort, &c. &c. (See Sir Wm. Pole.)
Rebecca Drew outlived her husband many years, and with wonderful
resolution protected herself at Mocollup Castle though surrounded by
Irish enemies. She could use guns and pistols as dexterously as any
person, and always kept them loaded in her bedroom. Her powder-
horn was extant a few years ago. She told James the Second's Lord
Chancellor in his own court, that " if she had him at Mocollup Castle she
would have him cased like a rabbit."
Francis and Rebecca had but one child, Margaret, who married her
cousin John Drew, Esq. second son of the before-mentioned Barry Drew,
of Ballyduff, co. Waterford, and of Drewscourt, co. Limerick, This
John Drew, Esq. was a gentleman of peculiar intelligence and activity
of character and disposition^ which enabled him to add considerably to
his estates and property. " Having disarmed his opponent of his sword
in a duel, he gave him his life."
He had several sons, all of whom died unmarried except the eldest^

212 GENEALOGY OF THE
This gentleman studied physic at Leyden in 1743, He was very
learned and talented, and ecjually distinguished for his amiability and
goodness. He lived in great hospitality at Mocollup Castle for a great
number of years, and died lamented and respected by all who knew him.
He had married Arabella, eldest daughter and coheir of Colonel William
Godfreys of Bushfield (now Kilcolemau Abbey),co.Kerry, by Elizabeth,
eldest daughter and coheir of the Ilev. Richard Downing, of Knock-
graffon, co. Tipperary.
This Lady's pedigree (in poetry) is still extant, a great curiosity,
and derives her from Fiachra, King of Munster, M'Carthymore, the
great houses of Thomond and Ormond, Sir Valentine Brown, of Ross,
CO, Kerry, ancestor of the Earls of Kenmare, and other distinguished
persons. Through Pierce, 8th Earl of Ormond, she has a direct descent
from King Edward the First,
John Drew, Esq, eldest son of the last mentioned Francis, was a gen-
tleman of wit and talent, and peculiar amiability. He married Alicia,
eldest daughter of Pierce Power, Esq, of Afiane, co, AVaterford, a de-
scendant of the very ancient baronial house of Power or De la Poer,
now represented by the Marquess of VVaterford. Alicia's sister, Catha-
rine, married Sir Christopher Musgrave, Bart.
A great collection of most rare and curious family papers and docu-
ments are in the possession of the Rev. Pierce William Drew, of the
Strand House, Youghal ; where also may be seen many portraits of
members of the Drev\', Naylor, Boyle, Godfrey, and Power, families,
one of Valentine Greatrakes, and of several other distinguished persons.
Also several fine suits of armour in the best preservation, and richly
ornamented weapons of almost every period in our history.
This family in general, by the heiress of Prideaux and through the
Mortimers Earls of March, derive descent from Henry H. Llevvelyn
Prince of Wales, the King of Leinster, Earl Strongbow, the Bigods, De
Lacles, Montacutes, &c. &c.

brother John, who was father of Sir William Godfrey, 1st Bart, of that family.

Sir,
DEEDS OF THE FAMILY OF HARLAKENDEN.
To the Editor of the Topographer.
By the kindness of Lord Strangford, I am enabled to fur-
nish you with a few additional particulars respecting the family
of Harlakenden. * From the deeds of the family, placed by
his lordship at my disposal, an abstract of all which I here send,
we are made acquainted with the fact that George Harlakenden,
last named of Woodchurch, married a second wife, whilst they
supply the name, residence, designation, and arms of his first
lady's father. They also give the army rank borne by himself
and his own father.
And well had it been could they tell of nothing more than
these several particulars, for, unhappilyj they furnish us with the
=» See vol. I. pp. 228—258, 395, 396.
216 DEEDS OF THE FAMILY
means of tracing step by step the downfall of a very ancient
family. In 1700 the interest of Harlakenden seems wholly to
liavc ceased in Woodchurcli^ and we may reasonably conclude
that the last male possessor of the name ended his days in
straightened circumstances.
The two last descents of the pedigree may therefore be en-
larged, as under :

NOTES ON NARBURGII CriURCII, NORFOLK.
(Taken 27tli August 1844.)
The parish of Narburgh, which is situated in the county of
Norfolk, diocese of Norwich, and arclideaconry of Norfolk, lies
on the high road leading from Lynn to Norwich ; about nine
miles from the former place and thirty-two from the latter.
It derives its name from the river Nar, on whose banks it
stands. And Sir Henry Spelman, whose family were lords of
the town, relates in his Icenia, that John Brame, a monk of
Thetford, who lived in the reign of Henry IV., in a MS. history,
maintains Narburgh to have been a city in the time of Uter
Pendragon, King of Britain, about the year 500, governed by
Earl Okenard ; and that it was besieged seven months by Waldy,
a neighbouring king, who, on taking it, rased it to the ground.
It was undoubtedly a place of some eminence in Saxon times,
as is shown by its name, and by the remains of certain military
works which are foimd in and near the parish. But, whatever
was the importance it once possessed, at the time of the great
Survey of the kingdom by William I. it was returned as having
no more than thirty-three villeins, ten borders, and six carucates
of land. It was then the lordship of Roger Bigot, Earl of Nor-
folk, and at a very early period came into the hands of the
De Narburghs, some of whom were probably the builders of
the earliest parts of the parish church, where there is still re-
maining a very ancient monument of one of the family.
After the De Narburghs, the Shouldhams, and then the Spel-
mans, succeeded as lords, and continued so for many genera-
tions. This last family is of great antiquity, and many of its
members have been persons of high celebrity, but die chief
glory of the flxmily is " that great antiquary, and most learned
knioht. Sir Henry Spelman, an honour to the college whore he
was educated, as also to die town and county he was born in."
Sir Henry Spelman, however, was not born at Narburgh, but
at Congham, a village a few miles distant.
The principal lordship of the town is now in the family of
NOTES ON NARBURGH CHURCH. 225
Tyssen ; the patronage of the vicarage in Mr. Marriott, and the
population is something above 300.
The Church, which is dedicated to All the Saints, is an inter-
esting specimen of village ecclesiastical architecture, consistino-
of a nave, with north and south aisles, and a chancel. The
nave is much the oldest part of the fabric, being early -English.
And Blomefield tells us that in his time (1736) it was " came-
rated and impaneled with wainscot, the mitres of these panels
ornamented with shields; " and he gives a list of forty-five which
were then to be distinguished, though the colours of many of
them were very obscure. They related to marriages in the Nar-
burgh, Shouldham, and Spelman families. These have now all
disappeared, the interior of the roof having been ceiled and plas-
tered. The arms which may still be seen in the church are as
follows : —
1. Narburgh, Gules, a chief ermine.
2. Frowick, Azure, a chevron between three leopard's faces or.
3. Sturgeon, Azure, three sturgeons naiant in pale or, over
all fretty of eight pieces gules.
4. Spelman, Sable, platee between two flaunches argent.
5. Townshend, Azure, a chevron ermine between three es-
callops argent.
6. Eyer, Argent, on a chevron sable three quatrefoils or.
T. Bleverhasset, Gules, a chevron ermine between three dol-
phins embowed argent.
8. Lowdham, Argent, three escucheons sable.
9. Kelweden, Gules, a pall reversed ermine.
10. Orton, Argent, a lion rampant guardant vert, crowned or.
11. Skelton, Azure, on a fess, between three fleurs-de-lis or,
a crescent sable.
12. Heigham, Sable, a fess checquey or and azure, three
horse's heads erased argent.
13. Francis, Gules, a chevron engrailed ermine between three
doves rising or.
14. Saunders, Sable, a chevron ermine between three bull's
heads caboshed argent.
15. Willoughby, Or, on two bars gules three water-bougets
argent.
16. Hawe, Sable, a fess humette ermine between three grif-
fin's heads erased argent.

226 NOTES ON NARBURGH CHURCH,
17. Adrian, Argent, two bars wavy gules, a chief chccquey or
and azure.
18. Pouncy, Gules, two wings conjoined in a bordure ar-
gent.
19. Mansell, Azure, seme of cross-crosslets and three cres-
cents argent.
20. Cornwall, Argent, on a cross-fleury sable five bezants.
21. Patrick, Gules, two pales vairy argent and azure, on a
chief or a lion passant sable.
22. Heveningham, Quarterly or and gules, on a bordure en-
grailed sable nine escallops argent.
23. Le Gros, Quarterly argent and aziu-e, on a bend sable
three martlets or.
24. Turner, Sable, a chevron ermine between three fer-du-
molins or, on a chief argent a lion passant gules.
25. Branthwayt, Or, two bendlets engrailed sable.
26. Walpole, Or, on a fess between two chevron els sable three
cross-crosslets of the field.
27. Gary, Argent, on a bend sable three roses of the field.
28. Tyssen, Or, on a chevron vert two lions rampant of the
first, between three roses proper.
Weever must have been a very unobservant antiquary when
he could find no more than three inscriptions in this church
worthy to be copied into his book of " Ancient Funerall Monu-
ments : " nor has he copied even those three correctly.
Blomefield's account is much more full and correct ; but, from
a comparison with these notes, it will be seen that several in-
teresting memorials, particularly in stained glass, have disap-
peared since his time. The ugly square pews with which the
nave and aisles are now disfigured, being floored with deal
boards, may perhaps cover some of the missing inscriptions, but
most of the stained glass is entirely destroyed ; and the east
window is blocked up, and in its place is a heavy wooden frame,
on which are painted the Commandments, 8{c.
All that now remains of stained glass is inserted in the two
south windows of the chancel, and consists of five shields, con-
taining the quarterings of the Spelmans, and two subjects, one
in each of the small upper compartments. They appear to have
been taken from other windows when the lights were re-glazed.
The fontj which Blomefield says was large and antique, is now

replaced by a modern black marble basin, mounted on a pedestal
of freestone.

On a brass plate, 1593: " Here lieth the body of Richarde
AwsTEN, gentleman, who was a good benefactor for the poor in
the town of Narburgh." This is now loose, and lies on one of
the altar-tombs.
At the east end of the north aisle is a marble altar-tomb raised
against the wall, with a wall-piece, on which is the portraiture
in brass of a man and his wife, each kneeling before a prie-dieu.
On the man's desk, which is covered with a fringed cloth, lie his
gauntlets beside his prayer book ; his dress is that of a cavalier
in armour : on the lady's desk, her mittens. The man has a
label, on which is, " With the Lord there is mercy;" and the
woman another, on which, " And with him is plenteous redemp-
tion." Beneath is this inscription :
'^ Here do lye John Eyer, Esquire, late Receyvor Generale
to Eiizabethe the Quenes Majestic in the counties of Norfolk,
Suffolk, and Cantabridge and Huntynton, and one of the
Maisters of her hygh Court of Chancerye, and Margaret his
wyfe, one of the daughters of Sir Thomas Bleverhasset, of
Frens, Knight, and late wyfe of John Spelman, Esquire, sone
and heyre apparent of Syr John Spelman, Knight ; which John
Eyre dy'd the xx^l* daye of May, the yere of our Lord Mv^lxi,

and in the thirde yere of the raing of Elizabeth, by the grace of
God Quene of England, France, and Ireland, Defender of the
Faithe; and the said Margaret dy'd the xvth day of December,
in the yere of our Lord Mdlviii."
Over the figures are three shields :
1. Over the man: Quarterly 1 and 4, Eyre; 2 and 3,

Sir Henry Spelman, in his History of Sacrilege, informs us
(p. 247) that this John Eyre was a great purchaser of religious
houses on their dissolution by Henry VKI. and that he bought of
that King the Friars Carmelites, the Grey Friars, the Friars
Preachers or Black Friars, and the Augustine Friars at Lynn.
He was also possessed of Bury Abbey, and died without issue.
This monument has been engraved by Cotman.
On the Pavement in the Chancel.
Spelman impaling Branthwayte.
" Here lyeth the body of Mundeford Spelman, Esq. son
of John Spelman and Ann his wife, born Aug. 1, 1640. He was
a man of a most exemplary piety in prayers to, and in praising,
the Great God of heaven and earth ; and in relieving the neces-
sities of the poor widow and fatherless was his constant employ
and delight of his life. These are the actions which will turn
to account on that great day, when endless wealth, pompous
titles, and the noise of victories, the pride of learning, will at
best be but useless things. By Julian his wife, daughter of
William Branthwayte, of Hethell, Esq. he left issue three sons
and one daughter ; he dyed the 30th January, in the year of our
Lord 1723, in the 83 year of his age."
Spelman impaling Walpole.

230 NOTES ON NARBURGH CHURCH,
These two last mentioned niemoiials were originally placed in
the pavement of the chancel, but are now neatly inserted in free-
stone, and fixed to the north wall.
At the south-east corner of the chancel is a square pillar
about seven feet in height, within which, in an upright position,
are interred the remains of Clement Spelman, Esq. and upon
•which is his statue in alabaster, in his robes as counsellor and
Recorder, the size of life. On the pillar this inscription :
" In this place doth rest the body of Clement Spelman,
Esq. Recorder of Nottingham, and in commission of Oier and
Terminer for the Midland circuit, and in commission of the
peace for the counties of Nottingham and Norfolk ; he deceased
Jan. 30, 1679, aged 72."
The next monument is very curious, and is thus described by
Blomefield :
" At the east end of the north part of the chancel, is a small
arch in the wall about seven feet from the ground, and in it
lies a demi-stajtue of a lady carved out of stone, and couped at
the middle, in miniature, being but about a foot long; her head-
dress seems very antique, her hands are conjoined on her breast,
holding a heart, and she rests on her back ; within the arch,
against the wall, is this inscription in letters of gold:
DOCOINA : ALATl?A : A : NARBOROVLb.
On each side of this the arms of Narburgh.
'' This is a piece of great antiquity, and this lady is said to
have died in 1293, and probably the date was formerly inscribed
here, for in an old MS. of monuments, collected about the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, I find it mentioned in this manner, ' D^na
Agatha Narborough, obiit 1293.' "
The inscription and arms are now entirely obliterated.
Near the last, an altar-tomb of marble, with a marble wall-
piece, in which is inserted a brass, engraven with the efBgies of
a man and woman on their knees before a prie-dieu ; over the
man is a label, on which is " Jesu, fill Dei, miserere mei; " over
the woman, '' Salvator mundi, memento mei." On the woman's
robes are the arms of Frowick and Sturgeon quarterly, and above
the figures the representation of the Resurrection. Over the
man is a shield quarterly, Spelman and Narburgh, and over the
woman, quarterly, Frowick and Sturgeon. On a brass below,
this:
CO, NORFOLK. 231
" Here under lyeth the bodys of Syre John Spelman,
Knyght, and secondary Justice of the King's Bench, and dame
Elizabeth his wife, which had xiii sonnes and vii daughters
of their bodyes between them begitten, the which Syr John
decessyed the xxvi day of February, in the year of our Lord
God Mv'^xLv ; and the said dame Elizabeth decessyd the v. day of
November, in the year of our Lord Mv^lvi ; on whose sowles
Jesu have mercy. Amen."
The next is a very large monument of marble, with a high
wall-piece. On the tomb is the statue of a woman in a recum-
bent posture, with a singular head-dress something resembling
a shell. Behind her, and a little elevated, lies a man in armour ;
both these figures are painted alabaster. On the upper part of
the wall-piece are two arches ; that to the right is occupied by a
female child kneeling, and by her the arms of Spelman quarter-
ing Narburgh, Frowick, and Sturgeon. In the left hand arch is
a tent, in which lies an infant; in this arch are also the arms of
Spelman, and over it Spelman quartering, as before, and im-
paling, 1 and 4, Willoughby ; 2, Gules, a lion passant guardant
argent ; and 3, Hawe. Between the arches this,
" Clementi Spelman Equiti aurato, Norfolciae (anno Domini
1599) Vicecomiti, qui primo duxit Annam filiam unicam et heere-
dem Edmundi Carvill armig', eaque sine prole defunctei, se-

Over this inscription may be seen, Spelman quartering in the
2nd quarter Narburgh, in the 3rd Frowick, in the 4th Adrian,

ment of William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, who was beheaded
at sea in 1449. It certainly, however, represents a Wingfield ;
and it is most probably the monument of Sir John Wingfield,
of Wingfield Castle, whose daughter and heir Katharine mar-
ried Michael de la Pole, first Earl of Suffolk. Sir John was
living in 1355, but the exact date of his death does not appear.

PEDIGREE OF MARCHE OF THE ISLE OF ELY.
To the Editor of the Topographer and Genealogist.
Sir,
Presuming that the investigated or elaborated pedigree of
any ge7itle family is acceptable to you, provided it be not else-
where in print, I venture to communicate that of the Marche
flimily of the Isle of Ely, co. Cambridge, which recorded its arms
and contemporary generations at its county Visitations of 1574-5,
1619, and 1684.
PEDIGREE OF MARCHE, &C. 24/
But before entering upon this genealogy, it may be pertinent
to explain, that I was originally led to it when tracing in 1841-3
the representation of the Steward family of Ely, in which (with
Oliver Cromwell and some other persons) the Marches enjoyed
a coheirship; and, according to my general habit, I perfected
the Marche pedigree {i. e. as nearly as I could without any great
expense) having once touched upon it.
I have, however, a rather important reason for this preface to
the pedigree, and it is to rectify an error which I copied from
Vincent, and published in a periodical called "TheArchseologist,"
printed by Mr. John Russell Smith, in 1841-2. This article
I wrote for the express purpose of correcting Mark Noble's
groundless and unwarrantable presumption, " that of all the six
sister- coheiresses of the Steward family, whereof Oliver Crom-
well's mother was the fifth, all died young or unmarried, except
Mrs. Cromwell : " whereas it is clearly proved that all six mar-
ried; and that not less than two, besides Mrs. Cromwell, had
surviving issue ; all which I fully substantiated. But, upon
Vincent's authority, I there also stated, that Barbara Marche,
the daughter of Thomas Marche who married Anne Stev/ard,
was she, so named, who became the wife of Edmond Hodilow.
Now I wish to state that since then original investigation has
quite disproved Vincent's identification. I find that Barbara,
daughter of Thomas Marche and Anne Steward, was not baptized
till Barbara Marche, wife of Hodilow, was married ; while the
will of Agnes Marche, mother of the said Thomas, calls Bai'bara
Hodilow daughter to the testatrix ; so that it is quite clear she
was sister and not daughter to Thomas Marche who married
Anne Steward ; and thus Vincent's insinuation (evidently founded
in ignorance), that she descended from the Stewards falls to the
ground ; the true position of her pedigree diverting the stream
of Steward blood into another channel at its very fountain-head.
There was a time when I relied on Augustine Vincent's state-
ments, verbatim et literatim ; but I begin to suspect that (though
greatly in advance of his predecessors,) he was more industrious
than careful. However, I will now proceed to the pedigree I
propose committing to your pages.

252 PEDIGREE OF MARCHE.
Qiiarterings of Marche of Ely :
1. Steward. Argent, a lion rampant gules, armed and langued
azure, debruised by a bend raguly or.
2. (Allowed at Canib. Visit, to the Stewards : sed qu.) Or,
a fesse chequy argent and azure, for Stuart of Scotland.
3. Boreley, of co. Norfolk. Vert, three boar's heads erased
argent, langued gules, 2 and 1.
4. Walkfare, of co. Norfolk. Argent, a lion rampant sable,
armed and langued gules.
5. Baskerville, of — — — . Argent, a chevron gules between
three hurts.
These quarterings were allowed to Steward at the Cambridge
Visit. 1619, and vested in the descendants of Thomas Marche,
Esq. of Ely, by his wife Anne Steward, on the death of her half-
brother, Sir Thomas Steward, of Ely, Knt. January 1635-6.
The other coheirs were the descendants of her (whole blood)
sisters, Mildred, wife of Henry Barker, of co. Norfolk, and Bar-
bara, wife of her kinsman, Thomas Steward, of Stradset, in
that county, (and her half-blood sisters,) Catharine, wife of Tho-
mas Chabnor, of Mousley, co. Hereford ; Elizabeth, wife of
Robert and mother of Oliver Cromwell ; and Eleanor, wife of
Sir John Pooley, of Wrongey, Knt. who also had issue.
Quarterings of Marche of Haddenham :
1. Humberstone. Argent, three bars sable, and in chief as
many pellets.
2. Skipwith. Argent, three bars gules, and in chief a grey-
hound courant sable.
3. Rowlands. Sable, from the chief a pile wavy ermine.
All which appear on the Marche memorials in Haddenham
church.
I have had a twofold motive for communicating this pedigree.
First, there being so far no History of Cambridgeshire, while
the Marche pedigree would be thoroughly essential to the his-
tory of Haddenham parish, when such a work is undertaken,
this article may, perhaps, be useful to the future historian of that
county. Secondly, I was wishful for an illustration of my theory,
" that in mercenaiy marriages contrived by parents and guar-
dians, their very object is generally defeated by Providence.^*
By her first husband, the son of her guardian, the heiress of
Marche had no surviving issue; and, so compulsory was this
TITHES OF LLANGEINWR. 253
marriage on the former, that Cole records, " though she was a
very pretty woman, her husband was never fond of her," and died
at the early age of 32, s. p. s. before the eyes of his plotting fa-
ther ; who so seeing his dearest hopes blighted, one would have
thoufjht would have been ijlad to meddle no more in the matter.
But, as in Mrs. Trollope's Tale of "One Fault," the money
being the principal attraction, the parent clung to his child's
surviving spouse rather than forsake the property; and now
speculated upon being parent-iti-Iaw to a " ladyship." Ac-
cordingly this same old lawyer picked up the expectant
heir of a baronetcy for his daughter-in-law. But the second
project was scarcely more successful than the first. The
worthy heiress had extinguished the Gatward family ; and she
now did the same by the Wollaston baronetcy. She had no sur-
viving issue, but of her own sex, by her second husband ; and
thus, not only the Wollaston baronetcy, and the male line of
that family expired ; but her daughters got its estates. In both
cases, the " biter was bit ; " for both Gatward and Wollaston
owed their extinction to their mercenary matches with this
wealthy heiress ; and probably, had they respectively married
other wives, they would now have been prosperous flourishing
families. There is no pedigree without its moral.

DECREE OF JOHN BISHOP OF LLANDAFF REGARDING THE

corde betwene one David Tew, farmer (as it is sayd) to the Prior
of the Priorie of Ewenny and Rector of the parish church or

dwellers or inhabitants of the parish of the said church or chap-
pell of Langynor, of the other parte, hath bene raysed and moved
before us sittinge judicially in the church of the co'vent of
Ewenny, namely, the eight day of the moneth of Maye in the
yeare of our Lorde one thousand fower hundred sixty and six.
We thei-fore wishinge and desiringe to extinguish, put out, and
quench the flames of strife betwene the partyes aforesayd, as we
are bound, by the counsell of learned lawiers assistinge us in
that behaulfe. And the sayd Prior beinge ther present, we de-
creed and commaunded that twelve men of the eldest and best of
credite within the sayd parish of Langynor should be called
before us the sayd daye and place, and in the presence of the
sayd Prior and of the sayd Rector of the parish church or chap-
pell aforesayd, To enquire of the maner, fourme, and custome
auntient approved and prescribed for tythinge or payinge of
tenthes within the foresaid pai'ish. Which person nes appearinge
before us personally, and beinge charged upon the holie Evan-
gelistes of God, we made diligent inquisiclon of and upon the
premisses and every parte therof, who upon their oath deposed
and sayd that this custome followinge of tithinge or payinge of
tenthes hath bene used in the sayd parish of Langynor by the
tyme wherof the memorie of man ys not to the contrarie, and
accordinge as they have learned and heard by reporte of their
auncestors, and as they have scene and payd in their own tyme,
Namely, that the parishioners and inhabitantes of the sayd parish
of Langynor were wont to pay unto the Prior of the foresayd
Priorie, or to his vicare or farmer, for every calfe one halfe-penny
and no more. Allso the tenth sheaflPe of corne. The tenth lambe,
The tenth fleece of wooll, The tenth cheese in five monethes of
the yeare onely. The third pigge allthough they had no more but
three, and yf they had twenty they afBrme that they ought to
pay one : And of their kiddes and geese in like maner, that ys to
saye one kydd and one goose albeit they have but three in the
worlde, and in twenty they ought to paye after the same maner :
And for an horse colt one penny, for a mare colt an halfepenny.
Also of their honey the tenth penny, Of a woman's dowire for

whom the sayd tithinges doe belonge and are knowen of right
to appertaine ther as before ys sayd, was personally present allow-
inge the foresayd maner of tythinge or payinge of tenthes, and
holdinge himselfe therwith contented, choosinge rather (as he
affirmed) to agree and stand unto the sayd auntient maner of
tythinge, than to contend and strive witli the parishioners afore-
sayd, and others that should come after, for a newe custome or
maner of tythinge : Because the end of lawe was doubtful], he
desired earnestly that the aforesayd maner of tythinge mighte
all way es be keptt. We, therfore, John the byshop aforesayd,
willinge to cutt off all contentions and dissentions in the sayd
matter of tythinge, and willinge to conclude, pacific, and end duly
the controversie betwene the foresayd partyes. The maner of
tythinge or payinge of tenthes within the sayd parish of Lan-
gynoi', do approve, ratify, decree, and confirme to bee of force
and to endure for ever by thes presentes. Forbyddinge upon
payne of excommunication that no man by rash attempte pre-
sume any wayes to weaken or infringe this our ordinaunce or
present decree. We do allso admonish the inhabitants of the
sayd parish of Langynor which nowe are and which hereafter
shalbe, to paye all and singuler such tenthes as are before recited,
in the same maner and forme, without any takinge awaye, dimin-
ishinge, or gainesayinge, unto the sayd Prior or to his vicare or
farmor at all tymes upon paine aforesayd. In witnes wherof we

The parish of Llangeinwr is situated in the manor or lordship of
Ogmore, and contains about 6,700 acres. At the time of the survey in
26 Hen. VIII. the tithes of Langynor were let to the parishioners and
inhabitants by the Priory of Ewenny at a farm of Al. 6s. 8d. (Valor
Ecclesiasticus.) They have now been commuted. There was no modus
claimed ; the impropriator, C. R. Mansel Talbot, Esq. of Margam, being
entitled to all tithes in kind. Exemption, however, was allowed for
about 72 acres, which had been recognised as exempt in 19 Jas, I.
The benefice is a perpetual curacy in the diocese and archdeaconry of
Llandaff, of the actual yearly value of 7 U. according to the return of
1831.

CHARTER OF GILBERT DE TURBERVILLE RELATING TO THE
MANOR OF LANDIMORE IN GOWER, 9 EdW. III. 1335.
From the original in the possession of George Grant Francis, Esq.
F.S.A. Corresponding Member of the Society of Antiquaries of
Scotland.
By the following charter Gilbert de Turberville, the lord of Landi-
more, confirmed to Sir Robert de Penres certain lands in that lordship,
which Sir Robert had acquired from the family of Braose, the chief
lords of Gower ; one of whom. Lord William de Braose, had formerly
270 CHARTER OF GILBERT DE TURBERVILLE.
disseised the ancestor of the grantor, a former Sir Gilbert de Turberville,
of the manor of Landymore, which he held in fee tail, conjointly with
his wife Matilda. An earlier charter, relative to the purchases of the
same Sir Robert de Penres in Gower, has been printed in the first
volume of the present work, p. 536.

The Seal in red wax f inc. in diameter, is suspended by a parchment
label. Arms, on a shield, in the centre, an eagle displayed, debruised
by a fesse. Legend, " * s'. gilbebti tvrbervile."
It may be curious to note, that all the authorities combine in giving
the arms of Turberville, Chequy or and gules, a fesse ermine ; crest,
an eagle displayed or. The seal to this charter would seem to have
arms and crest combined in the coat armour j for in the Encaustic Tiles
given in my " Neath and its abbey," the arms are simply chequy with
the fesse, G. G. F.

276 NOTES TO PEDIGREE OF UFFORD.
NOTES TO THE PRECEDING PEDIGREE.
The existence, and consequently the marriage of Elizabeth, daughter
of Thomas Beauchainp Earl of Warwick, has been overlooked by genea-
logists. Dugdale, in his History of Warwickshire, has described, with
the aid of an engraving, the several windows on the south side of the
quire of the collegiate church of Warwick, in which are represented the
figures of this Earl's ten daughters, each of the married bearing on her
outer mantle the arms of her husband. Of these ladies two, Isabella
and Elizabeth, thus bore the arms of Ufford ; and this circumstance,
joined to the fact that the names of Isabella and Elizabeth have been
sometimes considered synonymous, induced Dugdale to conjecture, un-
fortunately enough, that Isabella and Elizabeth were one, and that the
repetition of the figure denoted only the first marriage of the former
with John Lord Strange of Blackmere.
Mr. Beltz, in his Memorials of the Order of the Garter, is wholly
silent with regard to the marriage of Sir Thomas Ufford, whom he, how-
ever, was the first to identify as the brother of William Earl of Suffolk.
As he was buried at the Greyfriars, Ipswich, we may believe that he did
not fall, as Mr. Beltz supposes, in the fight in the neighbourhood of
Navarete in 1369.
The father of Sir James de Audley was summoned to Parliament as
Hugh de Audley senior, 15 May 1321, according to Sir N. H. Nico-
las (Synopsis of the Peerage), who incorrectly makes his second son,
Hugh de Audley junior, his son and heir. (See Beltz* Memorials of the
Order of the Garter, p. 82, 83.) Sir James de Audley, his eldest son
and heir, was never summoned to Parliament. His eldest son was the
celebrated Sir James de Audley, K.G. whom Mr. Stapleton has con-
founded with his father in Archaeol. xxvi. f. 345.
Godwin, Catalogue of Bishops, p. 111, says that John de Ufford, ap-
pointed Lord Chancellor in 1346, and Archbishop of Canterbury 24
Apr. 1348, and who died 7 June 1349, was son of the Earl of Suffolk.
If of the family, he may have been brother of the first Earl. Andrew
de Ufford, brother of the Archbishop, appointed Archdeacon of Middle-
sex in \2)^7, Joint Keeper of the Great Seal in 1353, and confirmed,
according to Godwin, Bishopof St. David's, 6 Feb. 1349, died in 1358.
For particulars of him, see Newcourt, vol. i. p. 79.
The MS. Harl. 1393, f. 15, states that Cecilia de Ufford married also
Sir William Blount.
Beltz, Memorials of the Order of the Garter, p. 101, incorrectly says
that Maud de Ufford was abbess of Barking, confounding her with her
NOTES TO PEDIGREE OF UFFORD. 277
kinswoman Maud de Montacute. He also as incorrectly says (p. 212,)
that Isabell de Beauchamp married secondly John Lord Strange, and
that Sir Ralph de Ufford was elder brother of Robert first Earl of Suf-
folk, (f. 249.)
So says the Esc. \^ Hen. IV. m. 1/ ; but there can be no doubt that
the jury found the heirship incorrectly. The finding should have been
that Robert Lord Willoughby was cousin and heir of Maud Countess of
Oxford through Cecilia his great-grandmother, eldest sister and coheir
of William Earl of Suffolk, eldest son of Robert Earl of Suffolk, bro-
ther of Sir Ralph de Ufford father of the said Maud.
A Sir Robert de Ufford was buried at the Austin Friars, Norwich.
(Weever's Fun. Men. p. 720.)
Walter de Offord held lands, jointly with Geoffrey de Suthorp, in
Northamptonshire, in 1300, (Esc. 29 Edw. I. n. HO,) among which
were tenements in the parish of Offord, held by wardship of Rocking-
ham Castle.
John de Ufford held lands in Wedon Pinkeney, Northamptonshire, iu
1301, (Esc. 30 Edw. L n. 110,) and also as John de Dufford, in 1303,
with Cecilia his wife. (Esc. 32 Edw. L n. 90.) In 11 Edw. 11. (1317)
his name occurs as Sir John de Dufford, Knight, with Cecilia his wife
in a charter respecting t he manor of Bradecote . . . (orig. char-
ters Brit. Mus.V. 5 ; and a seal lately found near Wallingford, Berkshire,
having upon it the arras of Ufford charged in canton with a star

* In the Archaeological Journal (iibi supra) this seal is ascribed to John Lord
UfFord, summoned to Parliament in 1360, mentioned in p. 274, but who is tliere de-
scribed as the son and heir of Ralph de Ufford, brother of Robert first Earl of Suf-
folk. The following remarks on the arms it exhibits are then added : " Mr. Davy,
of Ufford, who has obligingly supplied several instances of the name having been
written ' de Dufford,' selected from the Leiger Book of Blytbburgh Priory, ob-
serves that the Uffords derived their arms, Sable, across engrailed or, in the first
quarter a mullet argent, from the family of Peyton, settled at Ufford ; Glover, in his
Ordinary, assigning this coat to Peyton. On the other hand, in Bloomfield's His-
tory of Norfolk, it is stated that the Uffords bore this device by permission of the
family of Hovel." — Edit.

PEDIGREE OF THE FAMILY OF PLOMER, BY WILLIAM DOWNING
BRUCE, ESO. K.C.J. , F.S.A. L. & E . &C.
The remote antiquity of the family of Plomer, or Plumer, precludes
all accuracy of the developement of its origin. " Traditionally they de-
rive from a noble Saxon knight, who lived in the time of King Alfred."
(Burke's Comm. under Plumer Ward.) They have been long seated in
Hertfordshire, vi'here they ranked with the most distinguished of the gen-
try of that county ; and so far back as the year 1361, Peter le Plomer,
a person of considerable note and great opulence, was M.P. for St,
Alban's ; and Robert Plomer was Sheriflfof the county in 1495.

of both families is given by Hasted, folio, i. 116. The old farm-house called Pet-

mentioned by Hasted as existing in the windows of this house, were removed by
the Rev. James Drummond, a late Curate of Down, when tenant of the house,
which he modernized. The old mansion of Down Court is stUl standing ; it is
owned and occupied by Mr. John Smith, farmer.
*" See his epitaph in Thorpe, p. 948. He was a Venetian, and his wife a native
of Antwerp. Their brasses still remam, with figures of six sons and three daughters.
Of the sons, the first is represented as a youth, and must therefore have died young ;
the second has a sword ; the four others are in cloaks.

As the Countess of Eglintoun (before noticed) could boast of four husbands ;
so was Lord Thomas Howard, first Viscount Bindon, blest with four wives. This
was his last, namely, Margaret, daughter of Henry Manning, of Greenwich, by
whom he had no issue. Dugdale, Baronage, ii. 274.

supposes it was on a stone, which in his time retained the effigies of a
man and woman, whose inscription was gone.

the notes to the Register.
• G. S. S.
f The frequent inaccuracy of Weever's work cannot escape the observation of
those who compare his statements with existing remains. Another occasion of re-
marking it has occurred in a recent article (p. 226). It appears probable that much
of his book, as in the present instance, was compiled from the collections of the
heralds, and not from personal visits ; and he was consequently subject to the care-
lessness of his predecessors, and to risks of mistranscription. — Edit.

CHARGES MADE BY CHIIISTOPHER LASCELLES, GENT. AGAINST SIR
ROBERT RICHE, CHANCELLOR OF THE COURT OF AUGMENTA-
TIONS, FOR MALVERSATION IN GRANTING LEASES OF CHURCH
LANDS IN YORKSHIRE AND NORTHUMBERLAND.
(MS. Cotton. Appendix xxviii. f. 117.)
The intention of this paper seems to have been to show what advantages had been
taken by the Chancellor of the Augmentations, Sir Robert Riche, in granting
leases of several portions of church property, and how small a share of the proceeds
had found their way to the royal coifers. The case was a common one : but the
document contains some valuable particulars as to the estates it mentions.

DEED RELATING TO MERTHYR MAWR, CO. GLAMORGAN, IN
2 Edw. III. 1328.
From the original in the possession of George Grant Francis, Esq.
F.S.A. Honorary Librarian of the Royal Institution of South
Wales, and Corresponding Member of the Society of Antiquaries
of Scotland.
The " Marchelmaur" of this charter is believed to be the same
place as Merthyr Mawr, already mentioned in vol. I. p. 533. " Merthyr
Mawr is holden by knight's service under Lanbleithan — it was once the
land of the Sewards, and came to the Berkrolls by marrying an heiress
of Sewards ; and from Barkrolls to StradHng by the abovesaid mar-
riage. Thomas Lord Bishop of Landaffe is patron of the church there."
(Sir Thomas Phillipps's Glamorganshire Pedigrees, p. 48.) It is situated
near Bridgend, and the ruins of Ogmore castle are within the parish.
Of this castle an interesting survey, accompanied by a plan, will be found
in the Gentleman's Magazine for March 1835. Merthyr Mawr is now
the property of the Right Hon. John Nicholl,D.C.L., M.P. for CardiflF.
The land conveyed by this charter was situated partly at " le brode yate,"
that is, the broad way or road; and partly at " quinteynesmede," a re-
markable name, and probably the meadow in which the young chivalry of
the neighbouring castle were wont to exercise in the martial sport of the
quintain. Was Robert le Reymer, one of the witnesses, a Welsh bard,
or an English one ? John le Hayward was doubtless one of those offi-
cers still appointed at Courts Leet.

CHURCH NOTES OF HAMPSHIRE.
To the Editor of the Topographer.
Sir,
The accompanying rough notes relate to the monumental
records of" two churches in Hampshire. It is much to be re-
gretted that this, and other counties, which have, as yet, found
no historian, are daily exposed, by the neglect of the indifferent,
and the " repairs " of the ignorant (though by no means so in
the present case), to a fate from which nothing but the printing
press can save them.^
FYFIELD.
This church, which is very small, consists of a nave and chan-
cel. It has a bell turret at the west end, and a plain south
porch. The east window has three cinquefoiled lights with a
perpendicular heading, and the west window is somewhat similar.
The other windows are not remarkable. The roof is raftered,
and the whole church has been recently rebuilt.
. There are but few monumental inscriptions, and none of any
note.
In the chancel are mural slabs commemorating,
1. The Rev. Henry White, 26 years Rector, who died
December 27, 1788, in his 55th year, leaving a widow and ten
children. Elizabeth, the widow, died Dec. 9th, 1815, in her
81st year.
2. The Rev. Philip Poore, Rector from 1829 to 1837;
born Oct. 13. 1803; died July 28, 1837.
3. Christian, wife of the Rev. Charles Henry White,
Rector of Shalden, daughter of Alexander St. Barbe; born
Aug. 21, 1784; died July 3, 1806.
On the floor is a slab covering the grave of Christian White.

tributor, will be found in the Vllth and Vlllth volumes of the Collectanea Topo-

CHURCH NOTES OF HAMPSHIRE. 307
The seats are open. The font, described as plain, has not
yet been replaced, and the pulpit and reading desk are, appa-
rently, unfinished.
Against the north wall of the nave is a marble monument to
John Haywaud, gent, and Anne his wife, daughter of John
Winckworth, of Fy field. He died May 1, 1709, aged 43. She
died Oct. 3, 1728, aged 63. They left issue John, Thomas,
James, and Anne.
THRUXTON.
This church consists of a nave and chancel. The tower,
which is at the west end, has been thrown open to the body of
the nave, apparently for the purpose of accommodating the
school children, and a sort of north chapel has been added to the
chancel as a substitute for a vestry.
The east window consists of three trefoiled lights ; that in the
centre being the longest. The stained glass is entirely new.
The centre light has a representation of the Crucifixion. That
on the right has the taking down from the Cross. That on the
left the bearing the Cross. Underneath is inscribed : —
" Per crucem et passionem tuam libera nos D'ne."
The communion table is of stone, and therefore not strictly in
accordance with law, but rendered less heterodox by a crimson
cloth covering. There is a gilt alms' dish with the figures of
Adam and Eve in Paradise. This again is flanked by a
couple of candlesticks duly provided with candles, and handsome
brazen-clasped books for the use of the officiating ministers. If
the candles are to give light, well and good ; if not, their
meaning must be superstitious, and ought not to be tolerated.
It is one thing to allow candlesticks, as in our cathedrals, to
stand where they have always stood, by prescription as it were,
and another to re-introduce an obsolete appendage. Upon the
same principle we might clothe our priests in vestments, cut off
the crown of their hair, and enjoin them to celibacy. We have
already, in other places, slid into sedilia, and begun to mumble
our prayers in plain chaunting. It may here be observed that
the door of the church was open, conveniently for the anti-
quary, though evidently to assimilate it, as far as is possible, to
the usages of the Roman Catholic churches.
In the south wall, near the communion table, is an ancient pis-

cina ; and near it, and under a canopied arch, with figures of angels
holding blank shields, is an altar-tomb with paneled sides, and
plain shields in the paneling. Part of the arch has been bricked up,
and a portion of the sculpture may still be seen on the outside.
A monumental slab, bearing an effigy in mail, and with a square
helmet, the whole much mutilated, and the legs gone, but with
the appearance of a shield on the left arm, and held in front of
the body, has been placed on this tomb. It is stated to have
been removed from the outside of the church near the south wall.
This effigy is obviously of a date anterior to the monument on
which it rests ; and the will of Sir Nicholas Lisle, dated 1496, and
proved in 1506, in which he desires to be buried on the south
side of the high altar, seems to establish the fact of its being the
place of his sepulture and monument.
On the north side of the chancel, and exactly opposite the
above-mentioned altar-tomb, is another altar-tomb with three
rich panelings on the south side, and in the centre of each of
which was originally a shield of arms in brass. The west side
also exhibits traces of a shield in brass. Round the ledge was a
brass band, with the inscription, now entirely gone. The north
side, no doubt, corresponded, but the whole appears to have been
altered, and the style is different.
On the north side are two panelings with shields. The left
bears. Quarterly, I and 4>, on a chief three lions rampant
(Lisle) ; 2 and 3, a fess between three choughs. The panel on
the right has a lozenge-shaped shield bearing the coat of
Courtenay, with a label charged with roundels. Under the
canopied arch, which is immediately over this monument, are
the effigies of a man and his wife, of stone, and lying on a
slab, now placed on the original tomb. The head of the
male rests on his shield. He is in plate armour, and his surcoat
bears the arms of Lisle, quarterly, with the coat above-men-
tioned. He has a collar of SS., and his feet rest on his gaunt-
lets. The hands of both are in the attitude of prayer. This
monument has been restored, and is in excellent preservation.
In the centre of the cornice on the south side, as also on the
north, is a shield surmounted by a helmet, and charged with
the two quarterly coats before-mentioned.
This must be the monument of Sir John Lisle, son of Sir
Nicholas before-mentioned, whose will is dated 1520, and was
THRUXTON. 309
proved in 1624. He desires an ambulator chapel to be erected
on the north side of the church, near vvhich he directs to be
bui'ied. The will of his wife, Mary Lady Lisle, proved also in
1524, contains a similar notice of this chapel.
At the west end of this monument is another and larger arch,
the paneling in the soffit of which is good, and in the spandrils
are shields, one of which bears the coat of Lisle. This arch now
incloses the pew of Sir John Pollen, Bart, the lord of the manor.*
On the floor of the chancel is a very fine brass, representing a
man in plate armour, under a rich triple-arched canopy, with
four shields at the angles of the stone, and a band, with the in-
scription. On the shields are the following arms: —
1. Lisle.
2. The brass gone ; but a chevron between three martlets.
3. Lisle, impaling three roundels.
4. Lisle, impaling, apparently (the brass being lost), a chevron
between three roundels.
The inscription is as follows ; —
" Sub lapide isto jacent pie memorie dominus Johannes
Lysle miles, dominus de Wodynton in Insula Vecta, et domina
Elisabeth Lysle uxor ejus. Idem dominus Johannes obiit ultimo
die mensis Januarii Anno Domini Millesimo cccco vii". Eorum
anime pace fruantur eterna. Amen."
Respecting this monument there can be no doubt. This Sir
John Lisle was the father of another Sir John, and the grand-
father of Sir Nicholas. His will is dated in 1407, and was
proved in 1409. He desires to be buried in the church at
Thruxton. The will of his son Sir John is dated 1468, and was
proved in the same year. He also desires to be buried in the
church at Thruxton. The e&igy in mail, now on the south monu-
ment, in all probability represents one of the earlier members of
the family then bearing the name of de Insula. They had large
possessions in the Isle of Wight; but Thruxton was their burial
place, and the manor of Chute, in that neighbourhood, was held
by them in the beginning of the 13th century. The estate of
Thruxton, where they had a residence, passed, on the extinction
of the issue of Sir Nicholas Lisle, to the heirs of his sister
* There was originally what was called a north aisle here, and it was, in all pro-
bability, the ambulator chapel beforementioned.
310 CHURCH NOTES OF HAMPSHIRE.
Elizabeth Phillpot, and remained in that family for many gene-
rations. It is stated, in Berry's Hampshire Genealogies, that
this (the Phillpot) line " has failed." Such, however, can by no
means be the fact, as an inspection of the pedigrees in the Visi-
tations at the College of Arms will prove.
A short notice of an ill-fated member of this family, Mrs.
Alice Lisle, who, by the tender mercies of James the Second
and Judge JefFeries, was permitted to exchange the faggot for
the axe, may not be irrelevant.
She was five years of age in 1622, and was the daughter of
Sir Thomas Beconsawe, her mother being one of the family of
Bond of Dorsetshire. Her husband was descended from an
imcle of Sir Nicholas Lisle. In Berry's Hampshire Genealo-
gies, they are stated to have left an only son John, who died in
1709, leaving a son Charles, who died in 1721, and with whom
the blood of Alice Lisle is said to have become extinct. This does
not appear to be the fact. The Petitioners for the reversal of the
attainder of Mrs. Lisle were her daughters Tryphena Lloyd and
Bridget Usher, and their petition was acceded to in the first of
William and Mary. Bridget Usher was, as I am informed, first
married to Hoare, President of Cambridge University in
New England. Their daughter, Bridget Hoare, married Thomas
Cotton, a non-conforming minister, who died in 1730 ; and the
lateBayes Cotton, Esq. of Kenilworth, in Warwickshire, was their
grandson. The grandson of Mrs. Lisle, Charles Crooke Lisle, of
Moyles Court, entailed his estates on his distant cousin Edward
Lisle, of Crux Easton, and his issue, and made no mention of his
aunts or their descendants, which may have given rise to the idea
that all issue of that line was extinct.
Against the north wall is a slab commemorative of the Rev.
Lancelot Greenthwaite Halton, 31 years Rector. He died
March 29, 1832, aged 69. Also Mrs. Frances Halton, who
died April 9, 1811, aged 85.
The north window has two cinquefoiled lights filled with mo-
dern stained glass. This is, in fact, the case with every window,
and the consequence is that the whole of the church is incon-
veniently darkened. The seats are open, and there is a carved
desk of oak for the reading of the lessons. The font is of stone,
octagonal, with a richly painted and gilt cover of wood. The
panels are also enriched with coloured and gilt shields, bearing
THRUXTON. 311
crosses, &c. and there is a drain for the water to be drawn
off, according to the practice of remote times.
The west window, which is in the tower, contains some very
inferior stained glass, representing the royal arms, and the arms
of the see of Winchester.
The small north chapel, or vestry, near the chancel, has a
modern altar-tomb, on which are carved, in bold relief, a pastoral
staff and an open Bible. On its leaves are " Nanny Baynes,
Dec. 5, 1842." " Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."
The ledse is inscribed, " I believe in the communion of saints."
On the floor is the grave-stone of Lady Baynes, who died
Dec. 5, 1842, aged 78, being the widow of Sir Christopher
Baynes, Bart, of Harefield Place, Middlesex, who died March
16, 1837, aged 82, and was buried in the Abbey Church, at
Bath. Their children are stated to have raised the adjoining
tomb as a memorial of their affection.
In the churchyard, on the north side, is a coffin-shaped stone
slab, ornamented with a cross, and which is said to have been
removed from the nave.
The tower of this church is embattled, and it has four small
turrets with pinnacles. Below is a cornice in an arabesque style,
and some shields with arms. One bearing the coat of Lisle ;
another that of the fess between three choughs. There is a
cross of stone on the east end of the chancel.
The graves in the churchyard are, here and there, orna-
mented with flowers, and the whole has an air of much neatness.
The only thing to be regretted is that the zealous and praise-
worthy desire of incumbents to improve and restore their churches
should be accompanied, as is now too often the case, by many
puerile and, I must add, reprehensible endeavours, to run in
as near to the Roman ritual, and Romish ceremonies, and Romish
paraphernalia, as can be done with due regard to the retention
of posts to which the parties have been preferred by a Protesting
Church.
Your obedient servant,

HONIWOOD EVIDENCES.
III.
SIR EDWAKD ARUNDEL OF AYNHO, CO. NORTHAMrTON, KNT.
HIS DESCENT AND KINDRED.
For whom and by whose authority the following curious notices were
made does not appear ; but they contain internal evidence shewing that
they were compiled in the reign of Edward the Fourth, that is, after the
death of Sir Thomas Browne, of Beechworth Castle, in July 1460, and
before that of George Duke of Clarence in February 1478. They are
taken from a verbatim copy of the original made by Robert Honiwood
of Charing, and preserved in his MS. volume, from which copious ex-
tracts relating to the Honiwood family have been printed in two former
articles. Although they do not appertain directly to his own family,
nevertheless, the reasons for Mr. Honiwood's transcribing them are ob-
vious ; viz. his second wife's descent, through her father, from Sir
Thomas Arundel, Knt. of Beechworth Castle, brother of Sir Edward,
the personage whom they chiefly affect ; and their value as old and ori-
ginal evidence.
It is worthy of remark that their intrinsic value is greatly enhanced,
and the evidence rendered unique, in consequence of the non-existence
amongst the Public Records of any inquest upon the death of Sir Ed-
ward Arundel ; and, considering that the manor and lordship of Aynho,
the only real property he possessed, were held in socage, and not in
chief, it is probable that not even a writ of inquiry was issued by the
Crown on his death. To this absence of any particulars concerning
him in the public records, is attributable the total silence of the old
heralds as to his marriage and death. Baker, in his account of Aynho
(History of Northamptonshire, vol. i. p. 546, et seq.) has gathered to-
gether every particular respecting him hitherto recorded and known ;
nevertheless he failed to discover the time of Sir Edward's death, and
that he left no issue. He, however, gives the Christian name of Sir
Edward's wife (as does also Bridges in his History of Northampton-
shire), upon the authority of the Cartwright evidences, but errs in coin-
ing for her a son, and marrying the fiction to Elizabeth Le Despencer,
who, had he ever existed, would have been his grandmother. In the
pedigree of Fitzalan, annexed to that account, no mention is made of
HONYWOOD EVIDENCES. 313
Sir Thomas Arundel of Beechworth Castle, brother of Sir Edward.
In like manner, Manning and Bray, in their accomit of Sir Thomas
Arundel, (History of Surrey, vol. i. p. 556,) are silent as to his brother
Sir Edward of Aynho. In Tierney's History of Arundel, although his
account is generally correct, Sir Edward is miscalled Edmund. And in
the well-laboured pedigree of the Mautravers branch of the Fitzalans
annexed to the notices of Sir Richard Arundel in the Collectanea Topo-
graphica, vol. VI. pp. 16, 17, Sir Edward and his brother Sir Thomas
are not mentioned. Dugdale (Bar. vol. i. p. 318, 321) omits all the
younger children and younger grandchildren, with their descendants, of
Sir John de Arundel Chevaler senior, the grandfather of Sir Edward
and Sir Thomas, and progenitor of that branch which inherited the
Barony and estates of Mautravers, and which, after the lapse of three
generations, came into possession of the castle and earldom of Arundel ;
restricting his account to the direct lineal descent of the heir male, who
in 1415 succeeded to the possession and inheritance of the castle and
earldom ; yet, in his Summary (p. 321) of the leading events in the
life of the new Earl's father, he commits a series of gross errors in mis-
appropriating to the father the history of the grandfather, and omitting
the father altogether ; whereby the pedigree is deprived of a generation,
his previous statements rendered contradictory and irreconcileable, and
the whole account confused. Relying on the accuracy of this narrative
of Dugdale, the historians of Surrey and Northamptonshire, and others,
in their accounts of this family, have committed the same errors ; even
so the Committees of Lords, in their Reports upon the Dignity of a
Peer of the Realm, when treating of the case of the Earldom of Arun-
del, (First Report, p. 426,) after having minutely investigated the pro-
ceedings in the Parliament of 1 1 Hen. VI. upon the claim and admission
of the possessor of the castle and honour of Arundel to the estate,
title, and dignity of Earl of Anindel by virtue of tenure, leave out a
generation in this branch of the family, notwithstanding the evidence
in those proceedings to the contrary. It is true that the lineal descent
of the heir male of this branch is correctly stated in the article in the
Collectanea referred to above, in Tierney's Arundel, and Milles's Cata-
logue of Honour (pp. 631, 652) ; which last account gives the issue
more fully and with fewer errors than any other. But, from what has
been already observed, there appears reason for appending to these no-
tices of Sir Edward Arundel, Knt. corroborative evidence of their accu-
racy, taken from the Public Records, and restating the history of the
manors of Aynho and Beechworth Castle, whilst in the possession of
members of this family.

and inquests thereon taken, in which she is respectively called " Elizabeth quefuit
twp' JohHs de Arundell CWr defuncti,^^ (no. 20), and ^'Elizabeth quefuit ux' Will'mi
la Zouch de Haringworth Militis defuncti,^' (no. 45) ; and the identity is corrobo-
rated by her will, (on the authority of Dugdale's abstract in Bar. vol. i. p. 691,)
dated on the feast of St. Ambrose 1408, (4th April, seven days before her death,)
wherein, as widow of the said William de la Zouch, she desires to be buried in the
abbey of Tewkesbury, where her brothers' corpses are interred, and gives to her
sons Edmund [Edward ?] and Thomas all her silver vessels to be equally divided
between them. The brothers were Edward le Despencer, who died at Cardiff
Castle, set. 12, Hugh le Despencer, who died soon after his birth, and Thomas Earl
of Gloucester, who was beheaded at Bristol, who were all interred in Tewkesbury
Abbey, the burial place of their race. (See Sir Robert Atkyns's Gloucestershire.)
The sons were doubtless this Sir Edward Arundell and his brother Sir Thomas of
Beechworth Castle. She was probably second wife of William Lord Zouch of
Haringworth, who ob. 13 May, 19 Ric. II. (1396), leaving William his son and
heir (by a former wife) then aet. 22 and more. Sir John Arundel her first husband
had died only five years before.
f Lady Arundell has here misunderstood the precise question, — her attention
being evidently caught by the parenthetical part of the inquiry. The answer to the
question should have been, that her husband Sir Edward and the mother of Sir
William Willoughby were cousins-german, viz. Sir Edward was son of Sir John
Arundel, elder brother of Sir Richard Arundel, father of Joan, mother of Sir Wil-
liam Willoughby.
The annexed scheme of descent will fully illustrate all the points involved in the
question, the parenthetical statement, and Lady Arundel's reply ; the parties men-
tioned being distinguished by Italics.

security was taken of the Earl of Arundel for his relief, and his homage and fealty
respited until the King's return to England. (Originalia, 21 Edw. III. m. 23.) In
23 Edw. III. (1349) the King grants to Joan Countess of Surrey for the term of
her life, with remainder to the Earl of Arundel, in fee, all the manors, &c. in Sur-
rey, Sussex, and Wales, which were the property of her husband John de War-
ren, Earl of Surrey, late deceased. (Pat. Rolls, 23 Edw. III. p. 2. m. 29, as quoted
in the Collectanea Topog. vol. VII. p. 135.) These manors, however, of CoUey
and Buckland, although they belonged to her deceased husband, must be ex-
cepted from this grant, in consequence of the entail thereof made in the same
year, and which is recited in the above inquest of 50 Edw. III. The Countess
of Surrey's death did not take place till 29 August 1361, (Esc. 35 Edw. III.
p. 2. no. 79,) which was doubtless the period referred to when Richard Earl of
Arundel came into possession of the castle and manor of Reygate and other pro-
perty of the Warrens. None of these particulars respecting the life estate in
her husband's property of the widow of John de Warren, last Earl of Surrey,
are given in Manning and Bray's History of Surrey.
•» The manor of Westbeechworth is in the parish of Dorking, and has been sepa-
rate and distinct from the parish and manor of Betchworth or Eastbetchworth
as far back as the reign of Henry III., although doubtless they were one at the
period of the General Survey. Temp. Henry III. Betchworth or Eastbetchworth
manor was in the possession of the Warrens, from whom it passed to the Fitz-
alans, and so to the Nevilles of Abergavenny, who sold it in 4 Car. 1. 1629. In
Henry the Third's time Westbeechworth manor was the property of the Wautons.
From them it passed to John de Berewick, and from him by heirship to Roger de
Hoese or Hussey 2 Edw. II. It remained in that family until 47 Edw. III. when
Isabel, widow of John de Hussey, (who ob. 44 Edw. III.) being seised for her life,
did jointly with Thomas de Revers, her then husband, levy a fine of her interest in
this manor to Richard Earl of Arundel. And in 49 Edw. Ill (not 47, as in Man-
ning and Bray) the conveyance recited in the above inquest of 50 Edw. III. was
made. (See Manning and Bray.)

de Arundel had a conveyance from John Lord Neville of Raby, by deed
dated 30 June, 50 Edw. III. 1376, of the manor of Aynho, co. North-
ampton,' in fee simple. (Esc. 3 Ric. II. no. I.) He was Marshall of
England, 1 Ric. II. ; was summoned as a Baron to Parliament in 1, 2,
and 3 Ric. II. as John de Arundell ; and suffering shipwreck off the
coast of Ireland was drowned 15 Dec. 3 Ric. II. 1379, (Walsingham)
leaving Alianor his wife surviving, who had, by his grant, the manor of
Postlyng, in Kent, for her life (Close Roll, 4 Hen. VI. m. 1. and Esch.
3 Ric. II. no. 1, 4 Hen. IV. no. 34, and 6 Hen. IV. no. 31);
and for her dower a third part of the manors of Aynho, county of
Northampton ; Codelowe and Changeton, Sussex ; Bocklond, CoUe,
Westbeechworth, and Wanton in Surrey, — as appears from the In-
quisitions taken on the obit of her second husband. Having con-
tracted marriage in her widowhood with Sir Reginald de Cobeham of
Sterborough Chivaler, a commission, dated 9 Sept. 1384, issued from
the Primate of all England, " ad dispensandum cum Reginaldo de Cobe-
ham Milite et nobili muliere Alianora relicta Johannis Arundell Militis
vidua, qui matrimonimn inter se publice contraxerunt non ignorantes se
tercio consanguinitatis gradufore conjunctos." k
Sir Reginald de Cobham, Knt. died 6 July, 4 Hen. IV. 1403, seised
in right of Alianor his wife of her dotation in the aforesaid third parts of
manors from her former husband Sir John de Arundell. The writs of
" diem clausit " to the King's escheators, wherein he is called " Regi-
naldus Cobeham Senior Chivaler," are dated 16 July, 4 Hen. IV. 1403 ;

guinity here mentioned of Sir Reginald Cobham and Alianor his second wife throws
some light upon the subject of the first marriage of John Baron Mautravers, of
which very little is known, and strengthens Vincent's statement that Lord Maltra-
vers's first wife was Ela, daughter of Maurice Lord Berkeley. Smyth and Dugdale
give him only one daughter, viz. Isabel de Berkeley, wife of Robert Lord Clifford.
The evidence, however, of this dispensation favours rather Vincent's match.

which the substance of the finding of the jurors is, " quod tenuit ter-

in Yeme ultimo preterite (II Nov. 1402) viginti unius annorum." By
another inquisition taken at Reygate, in Surrey, 20 Sept. 4 Hen. IV.
1403, before Richard at Sonde, King's escheator in the counties of Sur-
rey and Sussex, it was found that the said Sir Reginald " tenuit die quo
obiit in comitatu predicto, ut de jure Eleanore uxoris sue, eidem assig-
natam nomine dotis, post mortem Johannis de Arundel militis, nuper
viri sui, tertiam partem manerii de Westbechworth de domino le De-

bury, on Thursday next before the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy
Cross, 4 Hen. IV. 13 Sept. 1403, it was found that Sir Reginald held
the manor of Postlynge, in Kent, " ut in jure Alianore uxoris sue, que

6 Hen. IV. 1405, and writs of diem clausit extremum, wherein she is
styled " Alianora que fuit uxor Reginaldi de Cobham de Sterburgh
Chevaler," were issued to the escheators on 14 February following. By
the inquisition taken thereupon in the county of Kent, it was found that,
" Alianora que fuit uxor Reginaldi Cobham, in brevi nominata, alias dicta

taken in the same county, at Mallyng on ] I March, 6 Hen. IV. 1405
it was found that, " Alianora que fuit uxor Reginaldi Cobeham militis
defuncta et in brevi nominata tenuit manerium de Orkesden cum per-
tinentiis in gavelskendes (sic), et tenetur de domino Archiepiscopo Can-

(her son's widow ?) " Willelmo filio Nicholai Keryel militis, et de aliis
personis, quorum nomina seu per quod servitium predicti juratores peni-

que fuit uxor Johannis D'arundell Senioris Chivaler defuncti," were
issued two days after the former, viz. on 16 Feb. 6 Hen. IV. 1405, to the
Crown escheators in the counties of Wilts, Gloucester, Dorset, and
Somerset ; and in the return made thereto at " Yevelchestre" (Ilchester)
in the county of Somerset, on the 17 March following, the jurors find,
" quod predicta Alianora obiit decimo die Januarii ultimo preterito "
(1405); " et quod Johannes D'arundell armiger, etatis ad festum
Sancti Petri quod dicitur ad vincula ultimum preteritum viginti anno-

Alianore de corporibus eorundem Johannis D'arundell Chivaler Senioris
et Alianore procreati." [Esc. 6 Hen. IV. no. 31.] Her will, in which she
styles herself " Alianore Arundell de Lytchett," is dated " apud Lyt-

days after her demise, viz. 16 January 1404-5. ^
But to return to Sir John de Arundel Chivaler Senior : His will,
which is abstracted in the Testamenta Vetusta, is dated 26 November
1379. Pursuant to a writ of *' diem elausit extremum," directed to the
King's escheator in the county of Northampton, and tested 8 April, 3
Ric. II. 1380, in which he is called " Johannes D' Arundell Chivaler,"
an inquisition was taken at Northampton on 2 May 3 Ric. II. 1380,
before John Camell, King's escheator in that county, in which there is
this finding, " Dicunt quod non tenuit aliqua terras seu tenementa in
comitatu Northampton de domino Rege in capite nee de aliquo alio die

NOTICES OF Sill EDWARD ARUNDEL, KNT. 325
It has been already shown that, notwithstanding this grant for life.
Sir John had reserved one third of the manor of Aynho, and assigned it
in dower to his widow ; and there can be no doubt, although the uses
are not declared, that the Bishop of Ely and others, and their heirs, to
whom he demised the reversion of the estate upon the death of Sir Wil-
liam de Clinton Ch'r in fee simple, were merely feoffees in trust, — pz'o-
bably to protect the widow in the enjoyment of her jointure, and for the
use of his heir. Baker, however, is manifestly wrong in the conjecture
(vol. i. p. 546) that they held in trust " for his younger son Sir Edward
de Arundel ; " for Sir Edward was not his son, but grandson, and was
not born at the period of Sir John's death. [See p. 335.] From the omis-
sion in the inquest taken upon Sir John's obit in Surrey of the manor
of Westbechworth, and from the fact that it descended to him, his heirs
and assigns, in remainder, upon the death of his father [Esc. 50 Edw,
III. (I nr's) 52], it may be rightly inferred that he did not retain his fee
simple estate in that manor at the time of his death, but had, by a pro-
cess similar to the one mentioned above respecting Aynho, conveyed it
to feoffees to the use of himself for life, with remainder (subject to
the assignment of one third therein in dower to his wife for her life)
to his son and heir ; who, as will be shown, held it in fee.
II. Sir John Arundel Chivaler, Junior, the son and heir,
was found in the inquisition on his father's obit to have been born on 3
Nov. 1364. In 7 Ric. II. 1383, he was in the Scotish war; and in 12
Ric. II. 1388, in the King's fleet at sea with Richard Earl of Arundel
his uncle, who was then Admiral of England. [Dugd. Bar.] Sir John
married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Lord le Despencer, K.G., and
sister of Thomas Earl of Gloucester, K.G. (who was beheaded at Bris-
tol, 16 January 1400, and buried at Tewkesbury.") She remarried
William Lord Zouch, of Haryngworth, who obit 13 May 19 Ric. II.
1396, whom she also survived, and by whom she appears to have had
no surviving issue. P Sir John having conveyed certain lands to
wick, CO. Northumberland, on Tuesday next after Easter Day, 3 Ric. II. (27
March 1380), wherein it is said that Sir John de Arundel Chivaler deceased held
neither lands nor tenements within that county in demesne or service of the King,
or any one else, " quia predictus Johannes diu ante obitum suum, viz, per duos

Sir John de Arundel Ch'r, her first husband, died 14 August 1390,
and was buried in Missenden Abbey. A writ of diem clausit extremum,
tested 6 Oct. 14 Ric. II. 1390, was issued to the King's escheator in
the counties of Surrey and Sussex, the preamble to which is, " Quia

Pursuant to which, by an inquisition taken at Dorking in Surrey,
upon Wednesday the feast of All Souls, 14 Ric. II. 2 Nov.
1390, before Robert Sibthorp the King's escheator, it was returned,
that " Johannes de Arundell Chevaler, filius Johannis de Arun-
dell Chevaler, defunctus in brevi contentus non tenuit aliqua terras seu
tenementa in dominico suo ut de feodo de domino Rege in capite die
quo obiit in coniitatu predicto, sed dicunt quod tenuit die quo obiit raa-
nerium de Bokelond cum suis pertinentiis et cum advocatione ecclesie

tibus de Edwardo domino le Despencer u infra etatem et in custodia

dicunt quod predictus Johannes tenuit die quo obiit in eodem comitatu

corpore suo exeuntibus de Ricardo Comite Arundelie et Surrie per ser-
vitium militare ut de honore castri sui de Reygate, et valet per annum x

de Arundell diu ante mortem suam feofifavit reverendum in Christo patrem
Thomam Archiepiscopum Eboracensem, Johannem Frome, Johannem
Estephans, Johannem Tanke, Willelmum Storton, Andream Grene, et
* It was owing to the circumstance of the chief lord of the fee, his brother in law
Thomas Lord le Despeucer (of whom the manors of Buckland and West Beech-
worth were held by military service), being a minor and in the King's wardship,
together with all his lands, that any return was made on Sir John's obit as to his
estate in those manors. In a former instance we see that an inquiry was made as
to his father's rights in these and other manors, in consequence of their having been
seised into the King's hands upon the death of his father, Richard Earl of Arundel.
For a like reason, the King being guardian of the lands and persons of the two in-
fant daughters and coheirs of Humphry de Bohun last Earl of Hereford, Essex,
and Northampton, who was chief lord of the fee of the manor of Aynho, that
manor is entered on the returns already noticed of the 3 and 7 Ric. II. Returns
were again made respecting the manors of Westbeech worth and Aynho in the inqui-
sition upon the death of Sir Reginald de Cobham Ch'r of Sterborough 4 Hen. IV. ;
because at that time they were in the King's hands, in consequence of the chief
lords of the fees being minors and King's wards : viz. Richard Lord le Despencer,
only son of Thomas above mentioned, and Humphry Earl of Stafford who was heir
of de Bohun. These manors not being held of the King in capite, it does not
appear that any writ or return respecting them was made at a subsequent period.
" As Edward Lord le Despencer died 11 Nov. 1375, leaving Thomas his sou and
heir, then aged two years, who lived to full age, it would be more correct to
have said " de herede Edwardi," &c.

son, was born at Ditton, in the parish of Stoke Poges, and baptized at
Datchet, CO. Bucks, 1 Aug. 1383. (See Prob. aetat. at the end.) In 6
Hen. IV. 1405, upon the obit of Alianore, Lady Mautravers, his grand-
mother, he was found her next of kin and heir, viz. son of Sir John de
Arundell Ch'r, Jun. deceased, son and heir of her the said Alianore, and
then 20 years of age. [Esc. 6 Hen. IV. no. 31.] Upon her death the
Barony of Mautravers devolved upon him by right. In 9 Hen. IV.
1408, upon his mother's obit, he was found her son and heir, and then
of full age. [Esc. 9 Hen. IV.no. 20.] In 3 Hen. V. 1415, he was in
the wars of France. [Dugd. Bar.] In 4 Hen. V. 1416, as "Johannes
de Arundell Miles ' ^ he had livery of the castle, manor, and ville of
Arundel, with other lordships thereunto belonging (his homage being
respited, in consequence of his absence in France), which he inherited
as cousin and next heir male of Thomas Earl of Arundel (who obit 13
Oct. 3 Hen. V. 1415, s. p.), in consequence of a fine and entail thereof
made in 21 Edward III. 1347, by Richard Earl of Arundel to himself
and the heirs male of himself and his wife Alianor of Lancaster, — Sir
^ In the extract from the return to the writ of certiorari, 22 Ric. II. it is shown
that these persons (excepting Storton and Dongate, but who were, doubtless,
the other feoffees referred to by the " alios ^') were feoffees of two parts of the
manor of Changeton. Sir John having demised to these parties in fee his manors
of "Westbeechworth and Changeton to certain uses, whereof one (as regards a por-
tion in Changeton) it has been shown was intended for his wife's benefit, by way
of jointure, may it not therefore be inferred, in the absence of other evidence, that
the manor of Aynho was included in this feoffment, with limitations, as regards
Aynho, to the use of his second son Edward, his heirs and assigns ; and as re-
gards Westbeechworth, to the use of his third son Thomas, his heirs and assigns ?

styled " Johannes Arundell Chevaler filius et heres Johannis Arundell
de Arundell Chevaler," paid 5 marks for the respiting of his homage •»
In the same year, he received, by the style of " Johannes Arundell
de Arundell Chevaler," writs of summons, dated 12 July and 3 Aug.
7 Hen. VI. 1429, as a Peer, to the Parliament ordered to assemble at
Westminster in September following. ' In this Parliament he pre-
sented to the King a petition to be received in his place to sit in
Parliament as Earl of Arundel, by virtue of his tenure of the castle,
honour, and lordship of Arundel, in like manner as his ancestors, the
Earls of Arundel, had time out of mind,'' In 8 Hen. VI. 1430, he
was, by the title of John Earl of Arundel, retained to serve the King
in his wars in France, with 2 knights, 57 men at arms, and 180
archers ; ^ but before he set out, he made his will, which is dated 8
April 1430, and was proved 15 February 1435-6, wherein he men-
tions Maud his wife, and Humphry his son. ™ It is probable that he
accompanied the court, on the occasion of Henry VI. setting out, 24
April 1430, to go into France for the purpose of being crowned there,
as the Earl of Arundel assisted the Duke of Burgundy at the siege of
Compiegne in May the same year ; " nor does it appear that he again
returned to England. At the anniversary festival of the Knights of
the Garter in 10 Hen. VI. 1432, he was elected a companion of that
illustrious order, on St. George's eve, the 22 April [Nicolas]. His
petition (wherein he is styled " Emd of Arundel ") to sit in Parliament
and the councils of the King, as Earl of Arundel, was again presented
in the Parliament summoned to meet at Westminster, 8 July, 1 1 Hen.
VI. 1433. After the case had been duly heard and examined, the King,
with the advice and assent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal then
assembled in Parliament, admitted him to have and possess the place
and seat of Earl of Arundel in Parliament and the royal councils, which
his ancestors heretofore had. ^ In 12 Hen, VI. 1434, the King, by
charter, created him Duke of Touraine in France, with limitation to his
heirs male. « His military services are minutely described in Tierney's
History of Arundel. He died at Beauvais in France, 12 June, 13 Hen.

VI. 1435, P in consequence of a wound received whilst attempting to
force the enemy to abandon the work of repairing the castle of Gerberoy
whereby he was taken prisoner and carried to Beauvais. His body was
interred in the church of the Friars Minors at Beauvais, where a hand-
some sepulchral effigy was placed over it. In Stothard's Monumental
Effigies there is a faithful representation of this costly figure. His
first wife is said to have been, Constance, daughter of Sir John de
Cornwall, K.G., Lord Fanhope, by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of John
of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and widow of John de Holand, Duke of
Exeter. i If it be so, she must have died, in or before 142S, at which
time Lord Mautravers was not more than 20 years of age. He married,
circa 1428-9, Maud, daughter and heir of Robert Lovell, armiger, and
his wife Elizabeth, daughter and at length sole heir of Sir Guy de
Briene, jun. Maud was first married, circa 1417, to Sir Richard
Stafford, knt. (eldest son of Sir Hum. Stafford, Knt. " of the silver
hand" of Hook, co. Dorset,) who died circa 1427, v. p. leaving, by
Maud his wife, a sole child and heir, Avice Stafford (nat. 4 Dec. 1423,
married circa July 1438, Sir James Butler, afterwards Earl of Wilts,
son and heir of the Earl of Ormond ; she died 3 June 1457, s. p.,
when the Briene property passed away to the Butlers, Percys, St.
Maurs, and Poyningses, and her paternal inheritance to her father's
nephew, Humphry Stafford, Ar.). Maud soon after married secondly
Lord Mautravers, and by him had issue an only son Humphry. She
obit 19 May 1436, and was buried, according to directions in her will,
(dated 11 May and proved 25 Oct. 1436) in the chapel of St. Anne,
erected by her father in law, Sir Hum. Stafford, in the abbey of Abbots-
bury, the burial place of her first husband and his family. Humphry

Sir Edward Arundell, Knt. of Ayniio, second son of Sir
John de Arundell Chevaler Junior, was not born before 1386. It is
probable that his father entailed upon him the manor of Aynho, by
vesting it in feoffees to certain uses, as has been already observed in note''
p. 335, upon the Inq. P. M. 14 Ric. 11. n. 1. In 10 Hen. IV. 1408, he
was in possession of Aynho, and appointed Henry Haylesham bailiff and
warrener of his manor of Aynho : * consequently he must then have been
of age. His birth, therefore, may be rightly placed in the year 1387. In
13 Hen. IV. 1411 -2, he vested his manor of Aynho in feoffees to the use of
himself and Elizabeth his wife for their lives, with remainder to his own
heirs and assigns.* He died soon after, and was buried in the church
of the Augustine Friars in London, 3 Nov. 1412, s. p, leaving Elizabeth
his wife surviving. She was daughter of Sir John Scargill and his wife
Joan, daughter of Sir John Warburton of Cheshire. Being tenant for
life of the manor of Aynho, she resided there till her death. In 7 Hen.
VI. 1429, (the period when John Eord Mautravers, her husband's ne-
phew, attained full age,) she granted the reversion, contingent on her
life interest, of the manor of Aynho to Lord Mautravers ; conse-
quently, upon her death, the manor descended to his brother and heir,
William Earl of Arundel. She obit 30 April 1479, according to the
inscription upon her monumental brass in the chancel of Aynho church.
In that inscription her husband is erroneously called John.
Sir Thomas Arundell, Knt. of Beechworth Castle, third son
of Sir John de Arundell Chevaler Junior, had by the gift of his father
the usufruct, if not the possession, of the manor of Westbeechworth.
He married Joan," daughter of Henry Moyns, ^ and obit circa 1430,
as Joan was a widow in 9 Hen. VI. 1431." She remarried, before
1437, John Guerdon." By her, Sir Thomas left issue a son William
(who died beyond seay ante 15 Hen. VI. 1436-7," and a daughter
Eleanor, at length sole child and heir. Eleanor carried the manor and

338 HONYWOOD EVIDENCES.
The writ and inquisition respecting the probate of the age of John,
son and heir of Sir John de Arundel Ch'r Junr. and grandson and heir
of Alianore (Mautravers), wife of Sir John de Arundel Ch'r Senr. and
mother of Sir John, Jun. are records which have hitherto escaped the
researches of family historians and genealogists ; nor is the probate no-
ticed in the printed calendars of the escheat bundles, where it ought to
have been separately and distinctly described and classed with the es-
cheats of 7 Hen. IV. Both instruments have been, for a very long
period, mixed with the mass of inquisitions post mortem of his grand-
mother Alianor Arundel in the escheat bundle of 6 Hen. IV. no. 31,
where I accidentally found them. They contain comprehensive evidence
of three generations in that part of the Fitzalan pedigree which most
needed proof, and may be appropriately attached to the notices of his
brother Sir Edward Arundel of Aynho, as useful data in fixing the
period of Sir Edward's birth.

ANCIENT DEEDS, BUCKS AND OXON.
To the Editor of the Topographer and Genealogist.
Sir,
The schedules of writings from which the following extracts
are taken, were prepared for Sir Cope D'Oyly, in 1624, from
the contents of his muniment closet at Chislehampton. I have
recently examined them ; and, as they do not appear to have
been known to the Bucks and Oxon historians, you may per-
liaps think such parts of them, as will not be printed in my Sup-
plement to the History of the D'Oylys, worthy of a place in
your pages.
In this trust, I send you what follows : viz. — the title to
the Oxon D'Oylys' estates prior to their own ownership
of them. And I cannot make this communication without
expressing, in the warmest manner I am able, every proper
acknowledgment for the courtesy and urbanity of that gen-
tleman who has lately afforded me the inspection of these sche-
dules, together with one of the best proved family pedigrees of
that day — a pedigree, the work of a Lawyer, viz. John
D'Oyly, of Gray's Inn, father of Colonel Edward D'Oyly,
Governor of Jamaica.

CASE OF THE REV. PAUL LIMERICK, RECTOR OF KILMOE, CO.
CORK, AS TO THE GLEBE OF CROOKHAVEN.
The following document is curious, not so much with respect to its
immediate subject, the glebe of Crookhaven, as from its incidental no-
tices of the tenure and customs of Church lands in Ireland, and its allu-
sions to historical and political circumstances.
Its writer was the Rev. Paul Limerick, D.D. Rector of Kilmoe,
apparently about the time of Queen Anne. He mentions his prede-
cessors Dermisius Coghlan, who was driven to England by the wars of
Cromwell, and there died; Mr. Parr, who was drowned; and Mr.
Gibson.
Bridget, the daughter of Dr. Limerick, was married Jan. 3, 1742, to
« Qu. whether they did not concern the Barantine family, and form the basis
of a Chancery suit between the D'Oylys and Perrotts temp. Eliz. ?
•^ The great mass, however, of the Chibenhurst writings had not been delivered
over to the D'Oylys at the time when the above schedules were prepared.
THE GLEBE OF CROOKHAVEN. 345
Benjamin Sullivan of Cork, attorney-at-law, and clerk of the Crown for
the counties of Cork and Waterford, and was mother of Sir Benjamin
Sullivan, Knt. a Judge of the Supreme Court at Madras ; the Right
Hon. John Sullivan, of Richings Park, co. Bucks, a Privy Councillor,
and M.P. for Old Sarum ; Sir Richard Joseph Sullivan, Capt. R.N.
and M.P. for Seaford, created a Baronet of the United Kingdom in
1804 ; and other children.
The parish of Kilmoe is situated at the very southern point of Ireland,
a Httle to the west of Cape Clear. " In a peninsula, formerly called the
Aldern-head, stands Crook-haven, once a place of some note, but now a
small inconsiderable town, near an excellent harbour, and one of the best
outlets in Europe for vessels to sail to any place whatsoever. The lands
about it are exceeding rocky and barren, a great part of which belong
to the see of Cork. . . The extreme point of this tract is called
Bally- vogy head, between which and the opposite cape, called Missen-
head, anciently the Notium Promontorium of Ptolemy, is a great bay."
Smith's History of the County and City of Cork, 1774, vol. i. p. 276.
Mr. Limerick's Case with regard to the dispute with Mr. Dali-
court and the late Bishop about the Glebe of Crookhaven.
Mr. Limerick having produced several proofs to the late
Bishop, that a parcel of land lying about the church of Crook-
haven (which had been demised to Sir Richard Hull a by the
name Glebe, together with other lands by Bishop Boyle ^) was
an ancient glebe, so far convinced him, that on the spot, be-
fore several witnesses (one of which lives on it now), he ordered
Mr. Limerick to possess himself of it, assuring him that he would
never disturb him, and that, if he did not, none of his successors
ever would ; on which, Mr. Hull's lease then expiring, Mr.
Limerick took possession, and set the land as glebe for two
years and received rent out of it, as appears by minutes he gave
of it; during which time the Bishop had the other lands of Crook-
haven sui'veyed, and in that survey the glebe distinguished from
the other lands as glebe, as appears by the plan now in Mr.
" Sir Richard Hull was of Lymcon, in the adjoining parish of Scull ; but the
pedigree of Boyle does not show how he was the Bishop's nephew, as is stated in
p. 351.
^ There were three Bishops of Cork of this name. The Bishop here meant is the
last, who was afterwards Ardibishop of Dublin (see p. 351). Michael Boyle, son
of Richard Archbishop of Tuam, was made Bishop of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, in
1660 ; translated to Dublin in 1G63 ; and in 1678 to Armagh.
346 THE GLEBE OF CROOKHAVEN,
Limerick's hands, a duplicate of which the Bishop had, and Mr.
DaHcourt now has. Two years after Mr. Limerick was in posses-
sion of said glebe, the Bishop let the lands (formerly in lease to
Mr. Hull) to Mr. Dalicourt and Mr. Traverse, and expressly ex-
cepted the glebe of Crookhaven, as might appear by the lease, if
that could be had, but it is cancelled and never registered ; but
it appears by the Bishop's letter to Mr. Limerick, delivered to
him by Mr. Dalicourt and Travers on their first coming to take
possession of those Bishop's lands; and they then declared to
Mr. Limerick, that, whether that piece of ground had been
Bishop's lands or not, it was from them excepted, and on that
desired the favour of Mr. Limerick to set it to them, because (as
it lay in the middle of their farm,) they would not well set theirs
to a good rent without it, and Mr. Limerick was prevailed on to
set to them at 3/. for that year. After this they tampered with
the Bishop to take the said glebe from Mr. Limerick ; and, be-
cause he could not do it with a good grace after he had heard
Mr. Limerick's proofs and answers to the several objections
made, would have Mr. Limerick to leave his proofs before law-
yers and let them be arbitrators of his right to said glebe;
which offer Mr. Limerick would not comply with, but would
leave it to the determination of the Bishop himself, who had
heard his proofs and given him the land. On this Mr. Dalicourt
refused to pay Mr. Limerick the 31. rent contracted for. Mr.
Limerick, on his refusal, processed him to the following Assizes,
and obtained a decree. The Bishop then expressed his resent-
ment against Mr. Limerick, as if he struck at him through Mr.
Dalicourt's sides. On this Mr. Dalicourt enters an appeal, and
the Bishop sends for Mr. Limerick, and desires that he would
let things remain in suspense ; which Mr. Limerick for peace'
sake agreed to at the time rather than quarrel with his Bishop,
but on this consideration, that Mr. Dalicourt should not prose-
cute the appeal at next assizes, and that that concession of Mr.
Limerick's should no way prejudice his or his successors' right to
said glebe. After this, notwithstanding this agreement, Mr.
Dalicourt (Mr. Limerick being in the country) got the decree
nilled next assizes, and continues in possession of said glebe ever
since, without paying any rent to Mr. Limerick, though Mr.
Limerick was never by any act of law dispossessed of that glebe,
either since the Bishop gave it to him and excepted it from
IN THE PARISH OF KILMOE, CO. CORK. 347
them, and though they have not in any lease of those lands since
taken had that glebe (which was once excepted) ever expressly
demised to them, that land of Ci'ookhaven being now demised
to them thus, " the one plowland of Crookhaven, the glebe of
Hull ^ being hereby excepted," whereas said Mr. Dalicourt and
Mr. Travers, desirous to have said glebe annexed to the other
Bishop's lands, endeavour to suggest to his lordship that that
piece of ground is no glebe but the Bishop's land, and conse-
quently ought to be inserted in their lease as such, the said
Mr. Limerick in defence of the rights of his Church here offers
the several proofs which have been already produced by him for
said spot of land being a glebe, and therefore his in right of his
Church there.
The proofs produced to my Lord Bishop of Cork : —
First. An unanimous agreement amongst all the inhabitants
of that place and parish both in giving the name of Glebe to
that spot of ground and in showing the bounds of it, and the
like agreement amongst the oldest persons now living there, in
reporting the same from their fathers ; from whence it may be
reasoned, If this was not glebe, but Bishop's land, how came all
to agree in calling it glebe time immemorial ? Why is this dis-
tinguished from the other land by a different title, especially that
of glebe ? Why was not that very name of glebe extinguished,
if for no other reason, yet to prevent disputes that might
arise between the incumbent and Bishop's tenant about it, it
being notorious that Bishops, as such, can have no right to
glebes ? How came this at first to get the name of glebe, if it
was not such ? Why should the great stone in the street be
shown as the bounds by all ? if yet there was no distinction, but
all was Bishop's lands, this was a distinction without a difference,
which would be absurd. Why should the memory of this glebe
be preserved when it was the interest of the Bishop, or his
tenant, to have it destroyed ? To these questions there can be
no good answer given but that it was what it was and is called
— a glebe.
Second. This spot lies situate about the church of Crook-
haven, as glebes usually do, and there are several reasons as well
as tradition to prove that this was the mother or parish church,
'' This important word is obscure in the MS. both here and where it again oc-
curs, p. 353. — Edit.
348 THE GLEBE OF CROOKHAVEN,
for this was a much larger church than that at Kilmoe and bet-
ter built; the chancel part was of hewed freestone, well cemented
with shell lime, and though the stone was much mouldered and
eaten by age and weather, yet it was with great difficulty pulled
down ; whereas Kilmoe church is built mostly of round field-
stones with clay mortar, materials which could not stand long
affainst time and weather; this of Kilmoe was roofed and slated
very lately, as appears by Mahony's affidavit, and the roof car-
ried in Cromwell's wars to the fort of Crookhaven, whereas that
of Crookhaven has been out of repair time immemorial ; add to
this, that it is most probable the parish church should be built in
the town where there were most inhabitants and on a harbour,
as all the other churches thereabout are, and that when the town
was destroyed the other little church was hastily run up in the
centre of the parish for the convenience of the scattered inhabit-
ants ; from hence I infer, that Crookhaven was the mother or
parish church, and, if so, why not endowed with a glebe, as all
other churches originally were? and what so likely to be a glebe
as that land about it? especially since all after ages have agreed
in calling it one, and in fixing the very bounds of it. And this
answers the objection of its not being capable of being endowed
as a chapel, when the mother church was before endowed, — if
there was any thing in the objection, as I presume there is not,
for there is nothing so common as more glebes than one in a
parish.
1 find a terrier of two glebes lying at a great distance from
each other in the prebend of KillnamuUy and in Carogaline.
There are four in the parish I was born in : there is a mother
church endowed with a glebe let at 50/. per annum and a chapel
now in repair, which Bishop Hickman ^ would not consecrate
because he could not get a sufficient glebe to it ; and 1 am told
your lordship would not consent to remove the church of Tullah
to Baltimore because Sir Ralph Freke ^ would not endow it
with a glebe, though there is a glebe in the parish already ; and
<= Charles Hickman, Bishop of Derry 1702, died 1713.
"* Sir Ralph Freke, of West Bilney, co. Norfolk, and Castle Freke, co. Cork,
Bart, married Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Sir John Meade, Bart, ancestor of the
Earls of Clanwilliam, and his only daughter (and heir to her brother Sir John Red-
mond Freke, Bart.) was married in 1741 to John Evans, Esq. whose son John as-
sumed the name of Freke, and was father of the present Lord Carbery.
IN THE PARISH OF KILMOE, CO. CORK. 349
I see no reason why other Bishops might not insist on the same
heretofore, and obtain it, especially at a time when people were
so liber.il in granting lands to pious lises that such grants were
at last forbid by law.
Third. It appears by some of the annexed affidavits that
Colonel Henry Beecher, ^ grandfather to present Henry, built
a fishing palace^ to the east of Crookhaven church on that
spot called the glebe, in opposition to William Hull, who was
possessed of the rest of Crookhaven not the Bishop's land. This
was done in Cromwell's wars, when said Beecher, being a Crom-
wellian, was in power, and when Dermisius Coghlan, who was
incumbent, removed to England ; from hence I infer, that if Hull
had any right to that spot, as he had to the rest, he would never
have permitted him to build there, being alway at strife with the
other about the fishing ; and his building there shews that that
spot was not then enjoyed by Hull. If it be asked what right
Beecher had to the glebe, the answer is easie ; he being a Crom-
wellian, in the times of confusion, in the absence of the incum-
bent, finding the glebe waste, possessed himself of it, as the
Cromwellians did of all church lands ; and after the Restoration,
Hull, who was a King's man, turned him out and possessed him-
self of it, there being noincumbent for many years after; and
then the other built a palace on the other side of the harbour,
which is still standing, and Hull had it put by his uncle Bishop
Boyle in his lease, though called the glebe in the very lease.
Fourth. Down Survey mentions three acres as part of the
island of Crookhaven distinct from the rest, which contains
131 acres; now this must be the glebe, because, first, there is
not any other denomination of land distinct from the rest but
the glebe, and secondly, because the glebe surveyed according to
the bounds shewed by the unanimous agreement of all the in-
habitants, answers exactly to the number of acres in Down Sur-
vey ; and if these three acres be the glebe, it is then evident
e Colonel Henry Becher, of Creagh, co. Cork. His descendant Mary married
William Wrixon, of Cecils town in the same county, Esq. who took the name
of Becher, and was father of Sir William Wrixon Becher, created a Baronet of the
United Kingdom in 1831.
f The house in which pilchards are salted " they call a palace." Smith's Cork,
vol. ii. p. 315. See in the Gentleman's Magazine, New Ser. xxviii. 1847, an ab-
stract of the deposition of Sir Richard Hull detailing his losses at Crookhaven, &c.
in the rebellion in 1641.
350 THE GLEBE OF CROOKHAVEN,
there was a glebe there at the time of Down Survey containing
three acres, and consequently that now enjoyed must be the very
glebe.
These proofs carry with them at least violent presumptions
(to put them at lowest) that that spot lying about Crookhaven
church is really what it is called — a glebe.
Written Proofs: —
I have examined the office where I ought to expect evidence
of this kind, but (either through the neglect of former Bishops
in not enjoining their clergy to bring in terriers, or the fault of
registers in preserving them) there is no terrier of any glebe of
six years' standing; but, as this doth nothing for me, it doth as
litde against me, inasmuch as if this sort of proof was necessary
no clergyman in the two dioceses could prove his glebe.
The only proof of this kind I produce at present is Mr. Hull's
lease, in which in a parenthesis the glebe land of Crookhaven is
demised with the other lands, thus, " the three half plowlands of
Crookhaven (of which the glebe land is part) ;" here it is evident
that there is a glebe in Crookhaven, otherwise it had never been
called so, but the whole of Bishop's land would be demised with-
out any such parenthesis, and there can no other reason be given
for expressly mentioning the glebe but this, viz. ; that that being
so well known to be glebe the next incumbent would certainly
claim it, and thereupon, to prevent that, it is expressly named in
the lease, that under the umbrage of the Bishop's grant it
might be secured from the poor vicars, who either were too
poor or very unwilling to dispute with the Bishop ; and yet, not-
withstanding this expedient to cheat the vicar, it was claimed by
Mr. Parr, would have sued for it if he lived. Mr. Gibson, his
successor, lived some time on it as his own, till by Sir Richard
Hull's management he was taken off and another farm provided
on easier terms; and it is plain by the threatening message sent
to Thadeus Coghlan by Sir Richard he was afraid his title was
bad and should be called in question by Parr.
Living Evidence : —
It appears by the testimony of living persons of undoubted
credit, that that glebe was enjoyed by Dermisius Coghlan at the
beginning of Cromwell's wars ; that he set and let said glebe,
and received rent out of it as incumbent in right of the Church ;
that the bounds of it were the same they now are; that on
IN THE PARISH OF KILMOE, CO. CORK. 351
his going to England it was first possessed in times of confusion
by Henry Beecher, a Cromwellian, when Hull had in his hands
the rest of the lands ; that after the Restoration, there being no
incumbent for many years, Hull being a King's man and in
favour, turned out Beecher and possessed himself with it, and
then, to secure his bad or no title against succeeding incumbents,
got it put in his lease, and so under that pretence, and by under-
hand dealing, partly threatening and partly cajoling the incum-
bents, who were very poor and seldom I'esided, continued in the
possession.
If it should be said that a Bishop is not to be supposed capa-
ble of doing such an act of injustice, let it be considered that
Bishop Boyle was Sir Richard's uncle, that he carried the aug-
mentation lands ying near Belly de Real, (?) which were granted
to the see of Cork, to that of Dublin ; and if he was capable of
one act of injustice he might of another, especially in favour of
his nephew ; or perhaps he might not peruse the lease, but
trust to his agent, whom Sir Richard being a favourite might
influence as he thought fit ; and as for Sir Richard's honesty, I
need give no other instance than his management in depriving
the see of those lands which now belong to Colonel Hyde ;S and
if he would cheat the Bishop, why not the poor Vicar? I might
say more on this head, but I hope this is sufficient.
These proofs I humbly submitt to your Lordship's censure.
I will not take upon me to judge of the legality of them in strict-
ness of law ; yet (allowing them the lowest degree of evidence)
I conceive they contain such reasons as are sufficient to beget a
suspicion at least that that was an ancient glebe ; and I am per-
suaded the tender regard you have to the rights of the church,
especially of incumbents, will incline you in a case which is at
least doubtful to take the safest and most favourable side, and
that when you consider that (as an Act of Parliament expresses
it) through the war and confusion of former times in this king-
dome, the ancient glebes in many places are so obscured that
they cannot be found out, you will rather wonder to find so
good proofs where none allmost be expected, than object at the
evidence ; for, if so much can be produced now, what evidence

mio-ht have been liad if no longer than fourteen years ago my
predecessors had besterred them, when there was a hving witness
then Hving who set and let that glebe for Mr. Coghlan, one of
my predecessors, and received the rent of it for him.
When all this is well weighed, I make no doubt but your
Lordship will continue me in the possession of that which you
have already restored, especially considering that by so doing
there is no injustice done your tenants, that it will be highly
beneficial to that parish, and that you are empowered by law so
to do.
First. There is no wrong done your tenants, inasmuch as it
is no part of their bargain, but is excepted in their lease, and
though they may think it inconvenient to them to have that spot
in the middle of their land, yet it will not excuse the injustice
done the Church.
Second. This will be highly beneficial to the church, because
whether that cure be served from Skull or by a distinct incum-
bent some sort of I'esidence is necessary, which will be imprac-
ticable without that glebe, for though the incumbent might
make a shift for a bed, yet he can have no provision for his horse
without it. Crookhaven is eight miles of barbarous road from
Skull, and in winter, though I take horse before day, I can
scarce reach to Crookhaven by 12 o'clock. I am obliged im-
mediately, without refreshing myself, to take horse and ride in
the night to get home, for there is not in the whole parish a
bed a man can lie on, or a morsel to be eaten ; and when my
stay must be so short there, it may easily be guessed what benefit
they can have by having service barely performed, whereas,
if I had a convenient place for myself and horse and servant,
which these three acres would but just yield me, I might then
in summer time stay some short time, converse with the people,
and catechize their children, which I can scarce now do.
Thirdly. As no one is wronged, and much good likely to be
done by this, so you are empowered by law to restore it. In
an Act passed 10 and 11 Car. I. sess. 4, chap. 3, entituled An
Act to enable Restitutions of Impropriations and Tythes, and
other rights Ecclesiastical to the Clergy, power is given to all
persons and bodies politic and corporate seised of tythes, glebe
lands, or other right, &c. to restore the same for the use of such
minister as shall serve the cure in the respective parishes.
IN THE PARISH OF KILMOE, CO. CORK. 353
In the 15th year of the same reign another Act was passed,
cap. 11, entitled an Act for endowing of Churches with Glebe
lands; in the preamble of which it is set forth, That through
the wars and confusions of former times in this kiniidome the
ancient glebes in many places are so obscured that they can-
not be found out, by which means the incumbents are neces-
sitated to perpetual non-residence, for which reason it is made
lawful for any devout person, without licence of mortmain,
to endow churches having no glebes, or not above ten acres
of glebe, with new glebe, provided the glebe of any one church
so endowed do not exceed 40 acres at the most.
The present Archbishop of Tuam's^ observation on this Act
is this : First, many ancient glebes, in the opinion of the law-
makers, were obscured through wars and confusion of former
times.
Secondly. That wherever the ancient glebe of a church would
be found out (as they express it) so as that the present possessor
might be convinced that this very piece of ground was formerly
given for supporting the necessary service of God, and never
legally alienated, but only obscured through war and confusion,
in such a manner as that proof strictly legal cannot now perhaps
be made of its ever having been a glebe of a church, that in such
a case whoever should be in possession of it ought to restore it
to the use for which it was once given ; and lastly, where those
glebes were so obscured that no footstep of them could be found,
or that persons possessed of them, for want of legal evidence to
evict them by due course of law, would not part with them, it
was the opinion of the lawmakers, that it would be a very good
work to endow churches with new glebes.
There is another statute to the same purpose, further enabling
such well disposed persons. But what is said is I hope suffi-
cient.

Crookhaven from the great stone in the street to [the] great

(son to Dermisius Coghlan, who was incumbent of the parish of
Kilmoe 1641) say, that his father Dermisius enjoyed the glebe
of Crookhaven in right of his church or chapel there, and con-
tinued in the quiet possession of it, receiving rent thereout till
in Cromwell's wars he was forced to go for England, where he
died. That he, Mr. Thadaeus, was at the time fourteen years
of age when his father went off, and perfectly well knew the
bounds of said glebe, which he declared reached from the church
to the great stone in the street to the east, and from the street
to the harbour to the north. That he informed Mr. Parr, who
was afterwards incumbent, of said glebe's being enjoyed by his
father, which very much provoked Sir Richard Hull, who sent
one Teige Mahon his agent with an angry threatening message,
desiring he might say nothing of it : notwithstanding this, he
honestly insisted on what he had said in my hearing, and Mr.
Parr, had he not been drowned soon after, intended, as he de-
clared, to sue for it. I likewise testifie that I have often heard
one Donagh McWilliam Coghlan (who was proctor to Dermisius
Coghlan, clerk,) say, that he set and let said glebe and received
rent thereout for the use of said Dermisius, clerk ; and the above
Donagh M<^ William is not dead above fourteen years. I like-

larger quantity of land than in England.

words.

ordered Mr. Limerick to take the glebe : when on the spot used
these words, " I will never disturbe you in the possession, and

This appears by the testimony of Mr. Lavers and others.
That it was an ancient glebe appears by the remarkable
bounds, great stones in the street ; by the tradition of the oldest
inhabitants; by its lying round the church; by the affidavits of
the Coghlans family; by Beecher's building a palace on it in
opposition to Sir Richard Hull, who held the other lands ;
by Mr. Hull's lease, where it is called glebe ; and by its tallying
with a small denomination mentioned in Down Survey, as dis-
tinguished from the rest of the land.

GENEALOGICAL DECLARATION RESPECTING THE FAMILY OF
NORRES, WRITTEN BY SIR WILLIAM NORRES, OF SPEKE, CO.
LANCASTER, IN THE YEAR 1563: ACCOMPANIED BY AN
ABSTRACT OF ANCIENT CHARTERS.
This curious genealogical document, which is copied from the MS.
Harl. 1997, has escaped the attention of Mr. Baines, the recent histo-
rian of Lancashire, and of previous topographers and genealogists. Its
author, Sir William Norres, was born in or about 1502, the son and heir
of Henry Norres, of Speke, Esq. by Clemence, fifth daughter and co-
heir of Sir James Harington, of Wolphage, in Northamptonshire, a He
succeeded his father in 1525. He was present at the spoiling of
Edinburgh in the year 1543, b and is supposed to have then brought
away from Holyrood House some carved wainscoting which still ex-
ists in the hall at Speke. •= He also brought away several books
from the palace library, among others Bartolus, printed at Venice in
1499, in which he inscribed the following memorandum, here copied from
a fac-simile, given in Baines's Hist, of Lane. vol. iii. p. 755 :
" Md. That Edyn Borow wasse wonne the viij*^^ daye of May in anno
xxxvj°. H. viij. et anno Domini M^cccccOxliij*^. And that this boke,
called Bartolus super primum degesti veteris, was gottyn and brougth
awaye by me Will'm Norres of the Speike, knight, the xj daye of Maye
fouresaide, and now the boke of me the fouresaide Sir Willm, geven and
by me left to remayne att Speike for an aire-loume. In wittenes whereof
wreityn this with my none hande and subscribed my name,
per me Will'm Norres, knight."
This, and thirteen other folio volumes similarly inscribed, are now in
the Athenaeum Library at Liverpool, having been purchased at the sale
of the late Henry Brown, Esq.
The pedigree of Norres was entered at the Visitation of Lancashire
in 1567, attested by the same Sir William. In this genealogy every
particular above Sir Henry Norres, his great-grandfather's grandfather,
* Not Northumberland, as in the pedigree in Baines's Lancashire, vol. iii. p.754.
'' William Norres, his eldest son, was afterwards killed in Scotland at the battle
of Musselburgh, 154T. (See hereafter, p. 373.)

is entirely at variance with the enumeration of his progenitors at the
commencement of the present composition ; but on this part of the sub-
ject it is unnecessary to make further remarks at present, as an elabo-
rate investigation of the whole genealogy of the race has been made by
the learned historian of Cheshire, who has favoured the Editor on this
occasion with so much of his researches as will suffice to show at once
the value, and the errors, of Sir William Norres's narrative.
The marriage settlement of his first wife Ellen, daughter of Rowland
Bulkeley, of Beaumaris and of Whatcroft, is dated 1321 ; before 1535
he married his second wife Anne Middleton of Chester, described as
" late wife of Thomas Seyton," in a suit with the Countess of Dorset,
27 Hen. VIII. She died in 1563, and was buried at Child wall.
Leland mentions Sir William Norres as an occasional inhabitant of
the Earl of Oxford's manor house of Blacon, near Chester. He died in
1568, and was buried at Childwall. His Inq. post Mortem is preserved
in the office of the Duchy of Lancaster.
The singularly romantic history of Mabel Bradshaigh, which forms a
striking feature of the following papers, has been noticed by several
authors ; but the version here related by the old knight will be found
to possess a racy naivete which is not contained in that already known.
This has been given in the several Baronetages, and first in that by
Wotton, 8vo. 1741, vol. iii. p. 656, evidently copied from an old family
pedigree of Bradshaigh, the original words of which have been thus
quoted by Mr. Roby and Mr. Baines : " Sir William Bradshaighe, se-
cond son of Sir John, was a great traveller and a souldger, and
married to Mabell, daughter and sole heire of Hugh Norris de
Haghe and Blackrode, and had issue in 8 Edward II. Of this Mabell
is a story by tradition of undoubted verity, that in Sir William Brad-
shaghe's absence (being 10 years away in the holy wars e) she married
a Welsh knight. Sir William, returning from the wars, came in a
palmer's habett amongst the poor to Haghe, who when she saw and con-
getringe that he favoured [_i.e. resembled] her former husband wept, for
which the knight chastised her ; at which Sir William went and made
himself known to his tenants ; in which space the knight fled, but near
to Newton Parke Sir William overtook him and slew him. The said
dame Mabell was enjoined by her confessor to doe penances by going
onest every week bare-fout and bare-legged to a crosse next Wigan
from the Haghe wilest she lived, and is called Mab Cross to this day ; ^
* The " holy wars," as is commonly known, were over long before this time. Sir
William's narrative speaks of Bradshaigh as a pilgrim only.
' Mab's Cross stands at the top of Standish Gate, at the entrance of the town of
Wigan from the Standish road, and consists of the base of a pillar and half a shaft
of four sides rounded off by time. (See sketch in Baines, vol. iii. p. 528.)
LEGEND OF MABEL BRADSHAIGH. 359
and ther monument lyes in Wigan church, as you see them ther por-
tray'd."
A fac-simile of this drawing is given in Baines's Lancashire, vol. iii.
p. 539, from a copy by Sir William Dugdale : it clearly represents the
same effigy of a cross-legged knight entirely in mail armour, which is
described by Mr. Baines as still existing in Wigan church, placed under
the stairs leading to the east gallery, " where two mangled figures of
white-washed stone serve to preserve the remembrance of Sir William
Bradshaigh of Haigh and his lady Mabel ; he in an antique coat of
mail, cross-legged, with his sword partially drawn from the scabbard by
his left side ; and she in a long robe veiled : his hands elevated and con-
joined in the attitude of fervent prayer." This description, however,
seems really to designate the effigy of a crusader, and consequently that
of an earlier knight than Sir William Bradshaigh in the reign of Ed-
ward II.
The story in the Baronetages has this addition, that the name of
*' Sir Osmond Nevil " is given to the Welsh knight : in the version now
published he will be found under the more appropriate designation of
Sir Henry Teuther, — but this may have been adopted in allusion, either
from pi'ide or sport, to the house which had attained the throne when
the story was told.
When Mr. Roby composed his " Traditions of Lancashire " in the
year 1829, he employed this legend as the groundwork of his story of
" Mab's Cross." Sir Walter Scott had previously twice made use of
it : first, in a note to Waverley, and secondly, as suggesting the idea
of " The Betrothed," in his Tales of the Crusaders. In his preface
to the latter (in the annotated edition, vol. xxxvii. pp. 5, 16), after no-
ticing a story of the kind, which occurred on the banks of the Tweed,
and giving a translation of the German ballad of the Noble Moringer,
he relates the legend of Mab's Cross, and refers to Mr. Roby's work,
adding that " The tradition, which the author knew very early in life,
was told to him by the late Lady Balcarres [the heir-general of
Bradshaigh]. He was so much struck with it, that, being at that
time profuse of legendary lore, he inserted it in the shape of a note
to Waverley, the first of his romantic ofifences. Had he then known,
as he now does, the value of such a story, it is likely that, as directed in
the inimitable receipt for making an epic poem preserved in the
Guardian, he would have kept it for some future opportunity." s
In further illustration of the tradition, the Editor has been informed
^ See also the new edition of Mr. Roby's work, under the title of " Popular Tra-
ditions of England," 1841, vol. i. p. 102.

by a correspondent at Warrington, that " There is a house called New-
ton Park on the outskirts of Newton, towards the Warrington side ; and
in the parapet of the highway, fronting this house, there is a large red
boulder, the colour of which, tradition says, was derived from the blood
of a Welsh prince that vfas slain upon it." Some accounts of the skir-
mish between Cromwell and the Duke of Hamilton's rear-guard at this
point allude to the traditional death of a king here, but this is supposed
to relate to King Oswald, and the confusion of Maserfield with Newton
in Mackerfield.
Baines (Hist, of Lane. vol. iii. p. 538) says, " Sir William was out-
lawed for a year for slaying the Welsh knight, and in the Inquisitiones
ad quod Damnum of 11 Edward H. we find him designated a felon."
If that designation referred to this act of violence, the time of the occur-
rence would be very nearly ascertained : but the Inquisition (which
has been examined at the Tower of London) does not specify in
what way he had incurred the penalties of the law. It may be noticed
that at a later date he was engaged in a feud with his neighbour
Richard de Holland, respecting which either party made complaint, as
appears by the following record : —

PEDIGREE OF NORRES OF SPEKE. 361
With respect to the Family of Norres, a few further prefatory-
remarks may be made. The name le Norreys is one of the same class
as le Fleming, Gascoigne, Poictevin, Scot, &c. merely designative of
national origin, and implies the Norrenische or Norwegian. In some of
the works of the Record Commission the several varieties of the name
will be found classed under Norensis. In 6 Hen. III. 1222, the sum
of five marks was paid to Yvo le Noreis and his four fellows, messen-
gers of the King of Norway, for their expenses on their return to their
own country. (Rot. Lit. Claus. vol. i. pp. 506, 508^.)
There was an ancient race of les Norreys in Wiltshire and Hampshire,
with a distinct ancestor from those of Cheshire and Lancashire.
The first ancestor of those of Speke (recorded as grantee of lands)
was Hugh le Noreis, who appears as having received one carucate in
Blackrod of the gift of Earl John, afterwards King.^ The same place,
after passing from Norres to Bradshaigh, through Bradshaigh to Har-
rington, ' and through Harrington again to Norres, was still held of the
Crown in capite as of the royal manor of Salford, when the inquisition
was taken after the death of Sir William Norres in 10 Eliz.
The direct male line of Hugh ended in Mabel Bradshaigh ; and,
Blackrod being thus gone, the representation vested in the male de-
scendants of Henry le Noreis husband of the heiress of Daresbury,
who is believed to have been by descent a Dutton, and had Dares-
bury and Walton in Cheshire (in the barony of Halton), and Eccleston,
Sutton, Rainhill, &c. (in Widness barony) in Lancashire, and these
passed by marriage to Daniell. A collateral male line then acquired
Speke by marriage with Molyneux, according to the inaccurate Visita-
tion of 1567 ; but otherwise according to charters cited by Sir William
*• The land was forfeited by William Peverel, tenant under William Earl Ferrars ;
and Peverel's forfeiture was granted to Earl John, who, in the first year of his
reign, as king confirmed his charter to Hugo Norensis, called in another part Hugo
Noricus. Rot. Cart. (Hardy, 1837,) p. 26 ; and compare also the Testa de Nevill,
pp. 372, 401, and 405'' (in the last place he bears the local name of Hugo de
Blakerode,) the Rotuli de Oblatis, p. 34, the Rot. Lit. Claus. i. 103, and Ex-
cerpt. Rot. Fin. i. 103.
^ No original document has been found to show what heir-general of Brad-
shaigh married into the Harrington family ; but it is certain that, after the marriage
of Bradshaigh with Mabel Norres, Haigh continued in Bradshaigh, until it passed
into the family of Lindsay, Earl of Balcarres, the present owner, by the marriage in

Norreys, and alluded to in his narrative. These state grants of one
moiety of Speke to have followed the marriages of John and Alan le
Norreys with two daughters of Haselwall temp. Edw. I. and the posses-
sion of the rest to have followed a marriage of Henry Norreys with the
daughter and heiress of Erneys. ^ The last marriage brings the quarter-
ings of Erneys and Molyneux, and their predecessors.
Speke at last passed, by marriage, about 1736, to the Beauclerks, who
sold it. The direct representative of Norres of Speke (since Warburton
of Winnington became extinct) is Leycester of Toft, co. Cest. The
collateral lines thrown off (as acknowledged by the heralds) were those
of Rycot, CO. Oxford, (Earls of Berkshire, deduced erroneously in
Visit. 1567, but see Dugdale's Baronage, Banks's Extinct Peerage, vol.
ii. p. 395, Lysons's Berkshire, p. 454, and Fuller's Worthies, under
Berkshire) ; those of Fifield, co. Berks, much ramified ; West Dei'by,
CO. Lane, existing at Dugdale's Visitation in 1664, and afterwards ; those
of Tarleton, represented by Norreys of Davy Hulme ; those of Orford
(which ended in Anne, wife of Sir Thomas Tyldesley, attorney-general
for Lancashire, not the Royalist general) ; and those of Bolton, now
represented by Blackburn of Orford, Ford of Abbey Field, Ormerod
of Sedbury Park, co. Glouc, and Starkie of Huntroyd.
An extensive pedigree of Norres was made by Mr. Lodge, Norroy,
for the late Mr. Norreys of Davy Hulme, and it is believed still remains
at that place. The pedigrees printed by Gregson and Baines were pro-
bably derived from it, but are not entire copies ; and the part entered in
the Heralds' College is limited to the continuation of the Lancashire
Visitation of 1664.

Other wayes, have hereafter putt fourthe the same, as by de-
«cent and pedegree hearafter shalbe sett fourthe. ix^b of
June in Anno Domini Mo \c Ixiijo.
I, Sir Wm. Norres aforsaid, was sonne of Henry son of Sir
William, sonne of Thomas, sone of Wm. sonne of Sir Henry,
sone of Alane, sone of John, sonne of Alan, sonne of Symon,
sonne of Alane, sone of Gilbert Norres, last of that name, ' lord
of Sutton, Raynhyll, and Wyston in Prescott parish, and lord
of Havvgh in Wygan parishe, lord of Blakrod in Bolton parishe,
and lord of Westeley in Leigh parishe. These syx lordshipps
went away with the heyres generall and be gone. Thys Alan,
Symond, and Alan^ be gott landes in the manour and lordshipp
of Speke. So that^this latter Alan having some landes in Speake,
one Pattricke Hassellwall, then half lord of Speake, maried Nico-
lane his daughter and half heire to John Norres, eldest sonne
to the aforsaid Alane, and gave with her the half of his manour
of Speake, viz. the forthe parte of the towne of Speake. And to
1 Sir William's deduction is contradicted above the point of " Sir Henry," as well
by his entry in the Visitation of 1567, as by his own citation of deeds afterwards.
He is also wrong in his confused account of the distribution of the Blackrod and
Sutton estates amongst heirs-general. The Blackrod line was collateral to that
which acquired Daresbury and Sutton — and the line which acquired these was dis-
tinct again from that of the acquirers of Speke. Symon, Alan, and Gilbert, seem
also to have been added to the head of the pedigree in confusion.
Sir William would have been right, if (according to his own deeds) he had writ-
ten " son of Sir Henry, son of John, son of Alan, son of John, adding (from the
former painted glass of Childwall confirmed by Whalley Coucber Book,) son of
Alan. This last-named John and his brother Alan, who acquired half of Speke
with the two daughters of Haselwall, seem (almost doubtlessly) to be the John and
Alan les Norreys, who, together with Robert le Norreys, are named as brothers of
Henry le Norreys, Dominus de Deresbury, among the witnesses to his charter to
the Abbey of Stanlaw in 1292-3, referring to rights obtained by the said Henry
within Ueresbury fee by his marriage. See Coucber Book of Whalley, p. 412.
In the same series of charters the same brothers repeatedly occur ; and also
Alanus Senescallus (p. 398) who witnesses with Andrew, who was Prior f Nor
ton 1223 — 7, and who occurs after as Alanus le Norreys Ballivus de Halton, who
witnesses (p. 402) with his local lord John de Lascy, Earl of Lincoln, and Con-
stable of Chester, and (of course) between 1232 and 1240. This last named and
newly discovered Alan le Norreys will most probably be father or grandfather of
the John and Alan who marry the daughters of Haselwall, and of Henry, contracted
to Margaret de Deresburyin 1269, who survived as a widow in 1314.

maried Margerey his other doughter, and gave with her to Alan,
the younger brother, th'other halfe of his manor of Speake, V3.
the fourth parte of the towne of Speke. This Alane had to
yssue with Margerey, Patricke Norres, who dyed without yssue ;
and yet by his deede gave to John Norres aforsaid all his londes
in Speake. So that John hadd the halfe of the manor of Speke
from Patricke Hassellwall.
In primis. In the dayes that be past, above ijc yeares agone,
and in tyme of Alan Norres, then my auncestor, yt appeareth to
mee, and trwe yt ys, that this Alan Norres was then relicte
heyre to the iiijt*> parte of the manor of Speake, which ys now
my manor and chef house, and then was all that landes whear-
uppon the said Alan had then by right of Pattricke Hassewall

to his heyres to abyde and dwell uppon. The iiijtb parte of Speake
then was that holden of Mollyneux of Crosbye, by the rent of
xvijd. ob. and in knight service, and yearly worth over xxij
markes, but since encreased of God, as after is by rentall apper-

Item, as yt is trwe the forsaid Mabell was seised heire to those

or rio-ht to any parte of any of the three forsaid manors : whom
my forsaid auncestor saluted ; and she, abashed of sutch a syght

sayd, Mayd, wyltthow marye me? and I shall make the[e] ladye

she saw hym and hard hym, knowyng not her owne right,
was abashed and knewe not what to answere, sayd, I am a
poore mayd, ye mock me. But he bouldened her and said,
Grawnt me maryage, and I will doe that I have said ; which was
agreyd upon gladlye on her parte and his bothe. And ther-
upon entered into the landes, possessed them, and had them, and
therupon maryed and lyved togeather many yeares without
yssue, and so she dyed. And in tyme conscience pricked my said
auncetor Bradshawe, and by consent and sufferance of Mabell his

her husband Bradshawe, my aunscetor, was dead, and all his

loved hym, with many circumstances ; and thus when tyme
served they went to bedd. But he tould them afore that he saw
theire Mr. Bradshawe, and that he was not ded. And when mo-
rowe cam, he [went] out and afore dynner tyme went to the hawll,
and ther requyred his dynner for the prophets ^ sake; which he
had, and so sett at a syde bourd in the hawll. Dame Mabell re-
membred her husband Bradshawe ; then began to behould
the palmer, and more she looked on hym, the more like she
thought hym to her furst husband Bradshawe, whom she knewe
no other way with hym but to bee dead, yet styll she thought
that he resembled her husband Bradshawe more and more, and
at length burst fourthe and wept. Sir Henry Tevthur her hus-
band demaunded of her why she weeped, and she answered and
said nothing. But ther was no excuse but she must tell hym.
And so dyd. That the palmer resembled her husband Brad-
shawe; who answered and said, What, hore ! dost thow love hym
better then mee? and therwith he departed the bourd with a
bound. The palmer saw all the matter, and kept hym styll. With
that, when dynner was done, he tooke his leave and departed.
He had hard that the said Sir Henry roade on the morrowe to

tenaunt tould hym ; and he said, I am he, and leyt his tenant see
this marke on his rybb that he spake of, and shewed hym other
secretts betwixt them ; so that the tenaunt was well assured that
yt was his good master Bradshawe. Then his master Bradshaw
tould hym all that he saw his wife for his sake that day suffer,
and sayd her strokes should be well quytt. And bade hym make
other ij of his most trusty tenauntes preve}' what was done, and
he so tooke them with hym, and every man on horsebake went

consequent payment being understood. In the Alliterative Poem on Richard II.

But, after this, dame Mabell dyed without yssue ; and afore her
deathe she fownded one chawntry at Wygan,* owt of the londes of
Haw, and fownded another at Blackrod,*^ and gave landes there-
unto in Blackrode. This chauntry in Wigan, and the landes in
Haw, hath my cossen Roger Bradshawe bought after dissolution
of the chaun treys; and Blackroade chauntry hath Thomas Fleet-

heyres for ever. This was the ende of Sir Roger Bradshawes
tale to my uncle Raffe Standyshe and me, and also in the heryng
of meny, on Blackroade mosse as aforsaid ys. But after this
dyd this Sir Roger suffer a fyne and recoverye theron over bothe
at Lancaster of the forsaid manor of Hawe to uses therein com-
prysed, which was thought was done because that William
Bradshawe his younger brother had ij wyffes at ons, feryng lest
any bastardye should ever mought be fownd in thys Sir Roger
Bradshawe that nowe ys, be reason of the said ij manages that

vorse that therfore was made ; for yf this fyne and recoverye
had not bene, and that the bastardy had bene proved, then had
Hawe comen to me William Norres knight, and to my heyres

But now to putt further in memory that my auncestors ys,
and that these other iij manors of Sutton, Raynhyll, and Wys-
ton went from Alan Norres to iij wemen, and cam — to Danyell,
Sutton ; to Travers, Wyston ; and now comen to Bould, as
aforsaid ys : and Raynhyll to Sir Thomas Gerrard, — it is cer-
tayn that Halsonet was Norres of Halsonet, and Norres of Bur-
tonhed, and Norres of Hardeshaw, and Norres of Eltonhed, and
all th'other charterers for the more parte ware within Sutton
were Norresses, and intaylled on Norres of Speake ; and to
prove that so, that house in Sutton that my cosen Bould
had of rae in sale and exchange, that my servant Adam Haw-
ward dwelled in, cam by intayle to Sir William Norres knight,
my grandfather, and other ij bowses in Sutton, that my cosen
John Owgull and now my nephew his son have of me in ex-
chaunge, were then in the holding of James Bernys and James
Garnet, fell also by intayle to my father Henry Norres esquier.
But how now they have forsaken their names of Norres I can
not saye ; but I am sure that Eltonhede name was lost and cam
to Eltonhed by calling hym the goodman of Eltonhede/ and so
tooke yt for his proper name, for I am sure all his evidences ys
Norres; and for want of yssue mascle all his lands ys inteylled

' Supposing the Norreys coat to have been derived from Baresbury, it is not im-
probable that Baresbury was a collateral of Button. Both, however, were military
tenants of the barony of Halton, and both families in the persons of Alan le Noreis
and Hugh de Button supplied Seneschals to the " Scira de Halton" in the time
of its crusading Baron John de Laci, Earl of Lincoln. (Whalley Coucher Book,
'398, 9.) Such families, without mutual relationship, might use " arms of affection"
closely resembling those of Laci, their feudal superior ; but it is certain that the
Buttons, as heirs male of Hudard, did claim relationship to Nigel Fitz Ivon, the
Norman founder of Halton Barony, and Hudard's alleged brother. (Mon. Ang.
V. 497.) Respecting the Button- Spencer coat the reader may be referred to Mr.
Willement's remarks in Blore's Monumental Remains (Monument at Brington) ;

Alane Norres was the fyrst that cam to inhabite at Speake. And
as I fynd in the glasse wyndowe at Childewall,^ Alan Norres that
ther is pictured, and his wyfe was doughter of Patricke Hasell-

over rather grandmother to this Alan, by reason that I fynde
that this Alan that fyrste inhabited heare was in king Edward

of his parte of his manor of Speake, viz. the iiijt^ parte, which
sheweth that then Patricke Hasselwall was half lord of the manor
of Speake; the other parte of his manor he gave to his other
doughter, Nicolae, with the same tenure, V5. the iiijtl> parte of the
manor of Speake to the said Nicolae his doughter and her heires,
the deede therof is also without testye, and now, I thincke, de-
scendethe to mee.
Item. I doe understand by recorde that Roger Garnett held
ij carycates of lond in Speake amongst other lands in the shyre ;
and these ij carycates I fynd that Roger Garnett gave with
his doughter in fre mariage to Richard Mollineux of Crosbye
and I fynd that Mollineux therby tooke on hym to bee half lord
of Speke. But owt of these 2 carycates I fynd that Mollyneux
for service doone gave to sundry men, and by sundry deeds . . .
acres lond, whereof came to my auncestor in certaine of his
guyfte . . . acres. And I fynde that William Mollyneux, by
deede without date, gave to Erneys, citizen of Chester, all his
londes in Speake with his doughter in liberum marita-
gium, and was a quarter lord in Speake afore William Molli-
neux gave hym any londes as afore ys said ther.

cord argent and sable. The fringe of the guidon alternately or, argent,

muto, who was born in 1498, and died on the 8th of May 1582, in the
84th year of his age. It was carried in 1547 to the battle of Pinkie, where
David and Robert Boswell, the two elder sons of Balmuto, both lost
their lives, the former leaving an infant heir, who succeeded his grand-
father, and was afterwards Sir John Boswell, of Balmuto. ^ On the
same field Sir William Norres himself lost his eldest son William. This
" gwyddon," therefore, was the memorial of a very fatal day to both
families.
The quartering of Abernethy is thus noticed by Nisbet in his System
of Heraldry : " Boswell of Balmuto, in the shire of Fife, now the prin-
cipal family of that name, who got these lands of Balmuto by marrying
the heii-ess of Glen of Balmuto : upon which they quarter the arms of
Abernethy, Or, a lion rampant gules, bruised with a ribbon sable*
which the Glens of Balmuto quartered with their own, viz. Argent,
three martlets sable ; which were more proper to have been quartered
with Boswell, than the arms of Abernethy." It will be observed that
Boswell also placed the Abernethy coat in the first quarter, which seems
to show the high estimation set upon it. In speaking of the tnbbon,
Nisbet had previously adduced the example of the coat of Abernethy,
adding that that coat was " quartered in the bearings of several of our
nobility."

the confusion. The sense may have been as follows: " It appears from, &c. &c.

FUNERAL CERTIFICATE OF SIR RICHARD BAKER, OF SISING-
HURST, KENT, 1594.
This Funeral Certificate is printed from the same volume of originals
which is described in the Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica, vol.
III. p. 286.
Sir Richard Baker was the son and heir of Sir John Baker, Chan^
cellor of the Exchequer to King Henry VHI. and the uncle of Sir
Richard Baker the Chronicler. His grandson Sir Henry Baker of
Sisinghurst (son of John mentioned in the present document) was one
of the first Baronets created in 1611, but the title became extinct with
his grandson the third Baronet in 1661. (See Collins's Baronettage of
England, 1720, vol. i. p. 321 : and Courthope's Extinct Baronettage,

this accident having come to the knowledge of the Duke of Grafton, to whom the
borough of Thetford then belonged, his Grace, from motives of humanity, and feel-

life, took him under his protection, educated him at his own expense, sent him to
Cambridge, and brought him up to the bar. His friendship even then was said not
have been wearied, but that he got him a small sinecure place in the customs, which
he enjoyed until he obtained a considerable share of business at the bar. Some

amusing stories are told of him during his intercourse at the bar, with Erskine,
to whom he furnished opportunities without end for the exercise of his lively
imagination. Mr. Mingay's business fell off considerably in the latter part of his
life ; he then retired from the profession, and went to reside at Ashfield Lodge in
Suffolk, where he died some years after his retirement. He was Senior King's
Counsel, a Bencher of the Inner Temple, Recorder of Aldeburgh, in Suffolk,
and many years Chairman of the Quarter Sessions of Norfolk and Suffolk. He
was elected M. P. for Thetford for 1806, but retired on the dissolution of that Par-
liament in the following year. See " IMy Contemporaries ; from the Note-book

HERALDIC NOTES TAKEN AT CLARE, CO. SUFFOLK, IN THE REIGN
OF QUEEN ELIZABETH.
The old collectoi's of Church Notes enjoyed an advantage which is
denied their modern successors, in the richly storied panes with which
ecclesiastical edifices were decorated, and which frequently afforded more
information, hoth in arms and inscriptions, than even the sepulchral mo-
numents. The funereal banners and achievements were also preserved
for many generations. Of these sources of information the heralds did
not neglect to avail themselves ; and it is desirable that the notes they
made, mostly from originals now destroyed, should be searched out in
their MS. collections, brought into view, and compared with the few
existing remains.
The following article is selected from a valuable collection of armorial
notes, chiefly made in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, now preserved
in the MS. Lansdowne 260 : but written in such a crabbed and obscure
hand that they are at first sight very forbidding. They will, however,
be found worth the toil of decyphering.
The church of Clare was illustrated with some of the armorial
achievements of the royal house of York, which owned the castle at that
place. The " statues," which the writer describes with so much gusto,
were figures represented in the windows.
The Editor has been favoured with some remarks by David Elisha
Davy, Esq. of Ufford, and Richard Almack, Esq. F.S.A. of Long
Melford, which materially illustrate the several achievements. It appears
that scarcely any of the memorials in painted glass here enumerated can
now be found. The chancel was rebuilt about 1716, by divers benefac-
tions, so that none of the old arms remain : but those of many of the
■ benefactors are still in being. These benefactors were Sir Thomas
Barnardiston, Sir John Higham, Sir Stephen Soame, Sir George Le
Hunt, and Sir William Clopton. The arms of De Clare appear over
the west entrance, in stone, very ancient. In the town of Clare there
also remains a very ancient carving of the sign of the chained Swan,
with much blazonry of Clare, De Burgh, Mortimer, &c.

that of Holland, the wife's mother, the writer erroneously describing it as
" pretens to Edmund of Woodstock," instead of Edmund Holland, Earl
of Kent. It was the achievement of Richard of Coningsborough, Earl
of Cambridge, and his wife Anne Mortimer, daughter of Roger Earl of
March and Ulster, by Alianor Holland, sister and coheir of Edmund

daughter, Alice, who married Sir John Howard, and was grandmother
of the first Duke of Norfolk of that name. Elizabeth Clopton, daughter

A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND ; IN A LETTER ADDRESSED
BY H. TR. TO SIR THOMAS CHALONER.
(From the MS. Cotton. Julius F. vi. p. 431.)
The two best occasions of editing this very curious topographical
description have been neglected and lost. The History of that district
of Yorkshire called Cleveland has been twice published in a quarto vo-
lume, first by the Rev. John Graves, in 1808, and secondly by Mr.
John Walker Ord, in 1846. Each of these authors has successively
been contented to quote only some detached extracts from this memoir,
and those disfigured by frequent errors : the former copying them from
the Antiquarian Repertory, where they were first printed about 1780 ;
and the latter merely from his predecessor, without having recourse to
the original MS. The way in which it was edited in that very incorrect
work the Antiquarian Repertory was indeed most scandalous. In every
three or four lines there is some word entirely mistaken, ^ others are
left blank or omitted, and at the end of the description of Skelton castle,
when the transcriber has got little more than half through his task, he
impudently closes with the words Ccstera desunt. It may, therefore,
be acceptable to Yorkshire topographers and naturalists to have a more
accurate text placed before them.
Who its writer may have been is a question which may be deserving
of investigation. Mr. Ord (p. 204) imagines him " some naturalist of
the place," but such was not the case. He describes himself as a
visitor; alludes to " their northern " dialect, and speaks of what occurred
at his last being in the district. In p. 423, he talks of " our Cornish
men," which may perhaps give a clue to his discovery : though, with re-
spect to grass pastures, he speaks of " our best groundes in the hart of
England." He was possibly professionally employed by Sir Thomas
Chaloner to make a survey, and to write such a report as the knight
might shew about to his friends, in order to promote the prosperity of
his new Alum-works at Bellman bank, which are particularly noticed
near the end of the memoir. It might be supposed to have been
written by Sir Thomas Chaloner himself under a fictitious character,
» Some of the most grave of these are in the passage at page 406, where the
names Conyers and Evre are miscopied Sommers and Gare ; the words " at Moul-
grave castle Sir Ralf Bigott," are omitted; " of we were resident," is printed for
2 D 2
404 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND,
from the minuteness of some of the particulars in which he is personally
concerned : but the style does not correspond with the known remains of
his composition.
It may further be remarked that Camden ascribes to Sir Thomas
Chaloner the credit of having been the first to discover Alum in this
district, a fact not so broadly stated by the writer before us, who only
says it was Sir Thomas Chaloner's good fortune to discover it in a
particular spot, viz. Slapworth near Gisborough. Lord Mountjoy had
previously worked alum in Ireland, and it had probably been raised to a
certain extent in Cleveland even before Sir Thomas Chaloner's time.
Camden's account is appended, for the sake of comparison, in the note
at page 426 : together with some further notices of this subject.
There is no doubt that the MS. copy now edited was communicated
to Camden for the purposes of his Britannia : there are other materials
for that great work bound in the same volume, and the several local
names which occur are noted in the margin by Camden's own hand.
That it was not written before the reign of James the First is shewn
by the Bruces being mentioned as " ancestors to our Kinge " (p. 406) ;
and Camden first made use of it for the edition of his Britannia printed
in 1607. It will be found that he took from this source the story of
the mer-man at Skenegrave, the accounts of the seals at Huntcliffe, the
ammonites at Huntley Nabb, the prognostication of the weather at Rose-
berry Topping, and some other passages.
The very same statements will also be found versified by Michaell
Drayton in his Poly-olbion; where, in his twenty -eighth book, he puts
the following lines into the mouth of the North Riding : —
let me but see the man,
That in one tract can show the wonders that I can.
Like Whitby's self, I thinke, there's none can shew but I,
O'er whose attractive earth there may no wild-geese fly,
But presently they fall from off their wings to ground :
If this no wonder be, where's there a wonder found ?
And stones like serpents there yet may ye more behold,
That in their natural gyres are up together roU'd.
The rocks by Moul-grave too, my glories forth to set,
Out of their crany'd cleves, can give you perfect jet ;
" of man were porters;" '^ the water,'^ for "his meate ; " ^^ lodgings,'''' for.
" lordings ; " with several others of less moment.
A page might be filled with the enumeration of other guess-work as egregious
in other parts of the memoir (such as the words "playde the rover" changed
into " explored the roads," in p. 419), whilst the names of places and persons are
much altered throughout.

And upon Huntclipnab you every where may find
(As though nice Nature lov'd to vary in this kind)
Stones of a spherick form of sundry mickles fram'd,
That well they globes of stone or bullets might be nam'd,
For any ordnance fit : which broke with hammers' blows,
Do headless snakes of stone within their rounds enclose.
Mark Gisborough's gay scite, where Nature seems so nice,
As in the same she makes a second paradise,
Whose soil imbroider'd is with so rare sundry flowers,
Her large oaks so long green, as Summer there her bowers
Had set up all the year, her air for health refin'd,
Her earth with allom veins most richly intermin'd.
In other places these might rarities be thought,
So common but in me, that I esteem as nought.
Sir,
Understandinge by your lettres that you desyre to be informed
of some rareytyes that lye in this lordshippe of yours called
Gisbrough in Cleveland, and in the coaste neere at hande, I
thought good, though in a confused manner, to advertise you
accordinglye. For the seate of the place being a corner remote,
out of all common highwayes, I can lyken yt to noe place more
then to Pozzuolo, antyently called Puteoli, unto which yt yeldes
neither in pleasantnesse nor rarities, but in holsomnes of ayre
yt exceedes yt farre.^
The towne and lordshippe was auncyently the inherytance of
Robert de Bruse, a yonger sonne of whose race was made Lord
of Ennerdale in Scotland, by consent of both Kings of England
and Scotlande, to the ende that Bruce the father, houldinge
landes of both the foresayde kings, in tyme of warre should not
stand as a newter, but should performe his oath of alleadgance
to one kinge; and as yt appeares in the antyent petygree belong-
ing to the abbey builte there by Robert de Bruce the father,
the father, in a skirmish on the borders, tooke his sonne Lord
of Annandale prisoner. I have here the coppye of that pety-
'' These words are adopted by Camden ; and Daniel de Foe, in his "Tour through
the British Islands," remarks of Gisborough : " It is certainly a delightful spot ;
but I cannot see the reason why Camden compares it to Puteoli." The same opi-
nion (according to Graves, p. 417) was adopted by Pennant. The similitude seems
first to have suggested itself to our author from the remoteness of its situation :

406 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND,
gree ready e to she we you at your pleasure, which perhaps you
wilbe curyous to see in respecte of the Bruces, whoe were an-
cestors to our Kinge, and whose greatnesse in lyvings, and there
aftermatches in marry age, apeares by the beautye of the monas-
terye, and the castles which to this daye remayne to be scene,
that sometyme were parcell of the Bruces' inherytance. Besides,
their sepulchres, and the Lord Faulconbridges, and divers other
greate Barons apeare there amongste the ruynes ; and at the
weste ende of the abbey church, over a doore in a steple, are cer-
taine auntyent lettres circuler-wise wrytten. Auncyent men
sometymes brought upp in the monastery tould me that a Dutch-
man was maister workman of the Abbey when yt was builte, and
yt seemeth to me that the inscryptyon is in Dutch.
I remember that I had conference once with you concerninge
the peopling of England. It is manifeste that that parte of the
cuntry called Cleveland hath bin wonderfully inhabyted more
than yt is nowe, for within the length of fewe myles the lordes
folio winge have had theyre seates. At Kyldale Castle, the Per-
cy es, Earles of Northumberland ; at A ton, Nevyll of Westmer-
land ; at Wharlton Castle, the Lord Menell ; at Skelton Castle,
the Lord Conyers ; at Danby Castle, the Lord Latymer ; at
Harsley Castle, Sir James Stranguish ; at Kylton Castle, the
Lord Lumley ; at Wilton Castle, Sir Ralf Bulmer ; at Moul-
grave Castle, Sir Ralf Bigott ; at Ingleby, the Lord Evre. All
these greate personages dwelt neere together in a small cyrcuyte,
and in the mydste of them the Pryor of Gisbroughe, who kepte
a most pompous house, insomuch that the towne, consystinge of
500 househouldes and odde, had noe lande, but lyved all on the
Abbey. Twoe Gatehouses had lodgings, and all houses of
offyces aperteyninge to a dwelleinge house, wherof twoe of the
Bulraers, knights, within the memory of man, were porters,
havinge allowance when they came of a plentifull dyet at eyther
gate, to enterteyne strangers, and of many horses in wynter
in the stable as in sommer at grasse, the nomber wherof and
other partyculers one Tompson, an almesman there, and di-
verse others have related unto me, as alsoe of the state of the
Pryor's servyce, by yeomen whoe brought his meate to a rounde
hole in the greate chamber's ende, where yt was receaved by
gentlemen whoe served the Pryor onely at his table. One
thinge I remember of their greate provysyon ; that a steward of
IN A LETTER TO SIR T. CHALONER. 407
theirs was put out of offyce because he had aforehand but onely
400 quarters of grayne to serve their house. But no we all
those lordings are gone, and the country, as a wydovve, remayn-
eth mornefuU.
All above the towne southwards, and alonge Clevelande, lyeth
Blackamore, antyently supposed to be called Bardon Hyll,<=
which, by the ploughed lands and ruynes of houses in many
places, seemes to have bin well inhabyted, but nowe, in six or
seven myles together, you shall scarcely fynd a house, excepte
in a dale, the reste is heath, and a rouste for heath-cockes, yet a
tennant of yours lately tryed that that grounde beinge tylled for
three or four yeares wylle yeld good oates or other corne, which
benifyte for wante of industrious people is utterlye loste, for in
truth the skirts and wastes of the moore are in a manner desolate.
The ayre at Gisbrough is soe temperate that, partly by reason
of the sea, which is three myles of, yet broken by hills lyeinge
betweene the towne and yt, and the happinesse of the seate,
beinge a valley mounted on small hills, compassed about with
very high mountaynes, the sydes wherof are covered with fayre
trees, or beautifyed with greene bankes or stately cliffes, inter-
mingled with the downfalls of small brookes, which with a tryl-
ling murmur, and variety of the often windings, make the moste
delightfull prospecte that I ever sawe. The soyle in the bot-
tome is fruitfull both for corne and grasse ; the grasse is not very
longe, but soe sweete and thicke platted, that an ackre therof
somereth as many cattle as our best groundes in the hart of
Englande. The ground moste parte of the yeare is covered
with flowers, wherby the ayre is soe sweete, and the earth ytself
(a clod beinge taken out of yt) hath so good a sente, that
gentlemen commonly when they will delight themselves say,
" Let us goe and passe some dayes at Gisbroughe," and yet
there is never a good house in the towne to recomende yt; and
which is more, oulde Doctor Lea,^ of Yorke, a phisycion, second

don hill with Badon hill, the scene of one of King Arthur's battles. But Badon
was Bath in Somersetshire ; and Camden supposes the battle of Badon was fought
on Lansdown above that city. The name of Bardon hill is not placed on Mr. Ord's
map of Cleveland. There is a hill so called on the borders of Charnwood forest in
Leicestershire.

York ; whose pedigree is printed by Mr. Ord, p. 241. The estate of Pinchhithorp,

or equall lo Doctor Muifet's ^ god of the Galinists phisycions,
Doctor Atslowe/ usualy sent his patyentes to Gisbrough to lye
there to recover their heahh. The people breed there live very
longe ; if they be awhile absent, they growe sycklye ; they are
altogether given to pleasure, scarce one good husband amongst
very near Gisborough, is said to have been given liim by George Conyers, who
had married an aunt of his, and died without issue. His great-grandson Roger
Lee wrote, in 1730, the following memorandum regarding him : " My father tells
me that his grandfather was heir to the whole estate of Hatfield, but was disin-
herited by reason that he went beyond seas to study the philosopher's stone ; and
his father, dying when he was absent, bequeathed all his property to his younger
brother James Lee, who, being educated at the bar, became Lord Chief Justice of
England, and left his son Earl of Malbeny [Marlborough is meant, but that family,
it is believed, was quite a distinct one, being seated at Teffont Ewias in Wilts, and
descended from the Lees of Devonshire] ; but for his brother Roger Lee, he came
to York as a doctor of physic, and had an estate given him by George Conyers of
Pinchinthorp. He left one son, William Lee, who was father of Roger Lee, and
died at Pinchinthorp, and left his son Roger Lee heir to the estate of Pinchin-
thorp, where he now lives, the sixth day of March 1729-30 ; and the seal of the
said Doctor Roger Lee was the Saracen's head, and about was written Lectus lee-
toris [qu ?] ; but for his grandson his seal was the three unicorns, which is the
seal of my father Roger Lee in the year 1706." Mr. Ord (p. 242 note) says he
cannot find sufficient authority for the statement that this family is descended from
Archbishop Lee. The Archbishop, however, stands in his pedigree of the Lees ;
and it commences with the name of Sir Richard Lee, Lord Mayor of London in 1461
and 1470. Again, the Lees of Hatfield near Doncaster, from whom Roger Lee claims
descent, were quite a distinct race, and were the ancestors of the Earls of Lichfield :
see their pedigree in Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol. i. p. 177.
•^ Thomas Mouffet, M.D. was a very celebrated physician, and the author of a
natural history of insects, and of other curious works, some of which arrived at more
than one edition, particularly one on Diet, entitled " Health's Improvement," of
which an enlarged edition was published by Dr. Christopher Bennett in 1655, and
another in 1746 by W. Oldys, with a life of the author prefixed. There is also a
memoir of him in Wood's Athense Oxonienses, although he was a Cambridge man.
See also the Gentleman's Magazine, New Series, vol. XXIII. p. 378.
' " Edward Atslovv, M. of A. and fellow of New College, was actually created
Doctor of Physic at Oxford, Aug. 27, 1566, in the house of Dr. Henry Baylie,
situated in the High street leading to the Quadrivium, by Dr. Thomas Francis and
him the said Dr. Baylie, by virtue of a commission, &c. This Atslow was after-
wards a noted physician among the Papists ; and for corresponding with Mary
Queen of Scots, suffered several months' imprisonment." (Wood's Fasti Oxonien-
ses.) In a letter of Sir Henry Lee, K.G. to Sir Francis Walsingham, dated from
Thome, near Doncaster, occurs this passage : — '* S", I have been often seyck, and
long or thys dede yf the helpe of doctor Astlowe had not bene. Tf his estat or
her majesty's favowre to me were such as he myght be suffered to come to me for
a while, I showld the better be cleared of the drages of my disseases. And thys per-
formed, I will be bouude he shall ritorne, yf soo yt be her pleasure, unto the place

them, daye and night feastinge, makinge matches for horse-
races, dog-runinge, or runinge on foote, which they use in a
fielde called the Deere close, where, as if yt were in Campus
Martis, you shall see from morninge tyll 12 or one of the clocke
at night boyes and men in their shirtes, exercisinge themselves.
Their dyet is plentifuU from the sea, which yelds such store of
fish, that for ten shillings you may keepe your house here with
conger, hurt, salmon, trout, soales, turbett, codde, fresh heringe,
and many other sorts of delicate fyshe three dayes together ;
their beefe and mutton alsoe is very cheape, and soe sweete in
taste, that such as live there of a longe tyme can hardly brooke
our meate in this cuntrye ; soe is their venison alsoe farre in white-
nesse and taste surpassinge. I bought at my laste beinge heere
eleven crabbs and lobsters for a penny, and threscore herings
for as much. This maketh them content yf they have wherwith
to live; for the reste, they have a sayinge, *' Let those that come
after us shifte for themselves, as we have done."
Towards the weste there stands a highe hill called Roseberry
Toppinge, s which is a marke to the seamen, and an almanacke
to the vale, for they have this ould ryme common,
" When Roseberrye Toppinge weares a cappe
Let Cleveland then beware a clappe."
For indeede yt seldome hath a cloude on yt that some yll wea-
ther shortly followes yt not, when not farre from thence on a
mountayne's syde there are cloudes almoste contynually smoak-
inge, and therfore called the Divell's Kettles, which notwith-
standinge prognostycate neither good nor badde. That is for
shappe, scyte, and many raryties, more excellent then any that
I have scene ; yt hath somtymes had an hermitage ^ on yt, and
s " The elevation of Rosebury is said to be 1488 feet above the level of the sea.
The base facing the north is broad and abrupt, the western boundary thickly co-
vered with oak-wood ; afterwards it rises almost precipitously in a cone-like form,
like an enormous sugar-loaf. The whole is covered with the most delicious green-
sward, interspersed with a plentiful pasture of fern or bracken. . . The apex of
the cone has been considerably diminished of late years owing to the barbarous
irruptions of certain Vizigoths, who have actually worked our classic mount as a
quarry." (Ord.) For the etymology of the name, and a description of the pro-
spect, the reader may refer to Mr. Ord's volume.
'' " A curious hermitage or grotto formerly graced the summit of the rock, but
has long since been sacrificed by the ruthless quarry-men. Here the names, ini-
tials, and footmarks, with various lovers' emblems and devices, were quaintly carved
on the stone. Some of these were in full, with a date annexed, as ' 1595. Theo-

blynde devotyon led many a syllie soule, not without hazard of
a breaknecke tumblinge caste, while they attempted to put them-
selves to a needlesse payne creepyng through that needle's eye.
Out of the toppe of a huge stone neere the toppe of the hille
drops a fountaine which cureth sore eyes, receavinge that vertue
from the minerall. J Yt is wonderfull to see with what vyolence a
stone will tumble from the toppe of the hyll towards a lytle
towne called Newton. 1 he noise that yt makes is soe terryble,
and the boundes alofte into the ay re soe high, that, as I am in-
formed, when you caste a stone once downe the hyll, a horse
that was fettered afarre of, for feare leaped over a greate gate,
and encounteringe a bigge ould hawthorne tree which onely
stoode on the syde of the hill, it dashed yt all in pieces as a
tempest, and ran forward without stay tyll yt came to an earthen
fence of a close, into which it perced, as yt had bin a greate
shott, having ran in a moment from the toppe whence yt was
caste to the wall or fence aforesaid, a'least a large myle.
I founde in this hill geate ^ and other myneralls, which I have
not yet thought good to discover. There is a most goodly pro-
spect from the toppe of this hill, though paynefully gayned by
reason of the steepness of yt ; but espetyally from the ende of
the race on Barnaby Moore. There you may see a vewe the
lyke wherof I never sawe, or thinke that any travailler hath
docea Cecyll.' ' R. C. 1625,' &c." (Ord, p. 424.) Theodosia Cecill would be the
first wife of Sir Edward Cecill, a younger son of the first Earl of Exeter, and after-
wards in 1625 created Viscount Wimbledon : she was the daughter of Sir Andrew
Noel, of Dalby, co. Leicester.
' The Antiquarian Repertory converted this into " Willifryd's needle," and the
two historians of Cleveland (Graves, p. 216, and Ord, p. 423) have given notes
referring to the narrow passage in the undercroft of Ripon minster which bears the
name of Wilfred : but, whilst the saints are different, there is as slight resemblance
in the places as in the names. The present may more closely be compared with
St. Patrick's chair near the Lake of Killarney, in Ireland, which is also on an
eminence attained with much difficulty by the devotees who are anxious to sit in it.
J " To this fountain (still a small spring trickling from an arched rock, deeply
embedded in the northern part of the hill and surrounded with thick sedges,) a
very ancient tradition is attached, which has since been adopted by Sterne, and
forms the groundwork of several local poems." It relates to the drowning, on this
spot, of Oswy, a prince of Northumberland : and will be found detailed by Mr.
Ord, page 422.

scene any comparable unto yt, albeyt I have shewed yt to divers
that have passed through a greate parte of the world, both by
sea and lande. The vales, rivers, great and small, swellinge
hills, and mountains, pastures, meadows, woodes, cornefeildes,
parte of the Bishopricke of Durham, with tlie newe porte of
Tease lately founde to be safe, and the sea replenished with
shipps, and a moste pleasant flatt coaste subjecte to noe inun-
dacion or hazarde, make that contrye happy, if the people had
the grace to make use of thier owne happines, which may be
amended yf yt please God to sende them trafique and good
example of thrifte. I founde here and there scattered in the
feilds and pavements of the towne neere Gisbrough huge stones
knowne to the inhabitants by noe other name but flynt steanes,
as in theire northerne they call them, which are most rich
jasper of coUour blacke, red, and whyte, and of a bastarde mar-
ble betweene blacke and greye. There is plentye to be had at
the feilde gate betweene Aton and Newton. For free stone
small search neede to be made, for every crag yeldeth yt
abundantly, together with slate and lymestone, and they geather
in their beacks and shallow ryvers, beinge blewe and thin,
somwhat like marble, wherby their lyme becomes stronge and
glutinous, able to resyste wynde and water. I have had expe-
ryence therof, and founde that you may digg your stone at an
easyer rate out of the quarrey then pull them out of the abbey
walls. Their shallowest ryvers yelde troutes, roches, eeles, pikes,
and other small fishe ; the river of Tease is famous for its good
salmon, sylver eeles, sylver troutes, which are firme of flesh and
yellowe, and above all others in taste, greate and fatt scales, and
all fishes that the sea affordes.
The porte at Dobhoome 1 upon the mouth of Tease hath bin
thought to be very dangerous, and excepte greate necessytie
urged, or the sea were very calme, none durst adventure yt,
Nowe yt hath bin sounded, and twoe lighthouses builte, one on
eyther syde of the ryver, wherby Newcastell shipps and others,
fearinge foule weather, ordinarily put in with 100 or more sayle
of shippes with safetye. Out of doubt, the goodnes of this porte

412 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND,
that the Danes used to lande there, shewinge greate heapes of
huge bones in the sands, in length litle exceedinge ours, but in
strength and bignes gyant-lyke ; whither they have gotten a
cruste or noe, or that there were some charnell house there I
knowe not, which I suspecte, by reason that a chappell, one of
the three built by three systers alonge that coaste, is neere at
hande. Moreover, they have an oulde blynde prophecye, that
a fleete of enimyes shall lande there, and come to Gisbrough,
where on a syde of a hill, called Stonegate syde, a greate battle
shalbe fought, insomuch that the brooke underneath shall runne
with bloude. If this come to passe they would have as ill foot-
inge as the combatantes had in Lippadusa, of whome Ariosto
writes, who was taxed by a bishop that he had apointed a listes
for horsemen, where, by reason of the sharpnes of rockes, foote-
men could scarcely stand : such is Stonegate syde. But I ga-
ther out of this prophecye, that when yt was hatched the porte
was knowne to be capable of a navye, otherwise yt had bin follye
to fortell the cominge in of a fleete, where no shippe could
come without manifeste perill. But nowe that I am come to
the coaste, I will coaste the contrye as it lyes, and let you under-
stonde howe farre I have waded into the secrett raretyes therof.
Neere unto Dobhoome (the port in the mouth of Tease
soe named) the shore lyes flatt, where a shelfe of sand raised
above the highe water marke enterteines an infynite number of
sea-fowle, which laye their egges here and there, scatteringlie, in
suchsorte that in tyme of breedingeone can hardlye sett his foote
soe warelye that he spoyle not many of their nestes. There
curyous builders furnish themselves with choice of shells, and
particoulored stones, fy tt for the makinge of artifyciall work ; and
as the tyde comes in yt bringeth with yt a small wash sea-cole
which is employed to the makeinge of salte and the fuell of the
poore fisher townes adjoyninge, the oylie sulphuorousnes beinge
mixed with the salte humor of the sea, as yt semes, and conse-
quently hard to take fyre, or to kepe in longe without quench-
inge, they have a meanes of makinge small vaultes to passe
under the hearthes, into which, by for-settinge the wynde with
a boarde, they force yt to enter, and soe to serve in steede of a
payre of bellowes, which they call, in a proper worde of arte, a
blower-hole. The shells, sandes, and sea-wrake serve in steede
of marie to enrich the lande, which is fruitfull of yt self, but

good husbandes of the lowe townes fatt in the purse and merrye
at the harte.
Within the sea-marke, on Wilton-syde, lyetha rockeof excel-
ent plaister, cankered by the salte-water ; but ifyt were searched
in the fyrme lande, yt is probable that yt would prove rare ala-
blaster.
From thence passinge alonge the sandes, by reason of the
fyrmnes and smoothnes frequented by such as delight in swifte
horses, you come to Redkarre,i" a poore fysher-towne, where at a
lowe water you may discover many rockes which halfe a myle dis-
tante from the shoare, some in pointe, and some on either hande,
lye in cyrcle-wise, havinge cevtayne inlettes for the boates called
cobbells to passe in and out. Truly yt may be sayde of those
pore men,° that they are lavish of theyr lyves, whoe will hazarde
twenty or forty myles into the seas in a small troughe, soe
thinne, that the glimse of the sunne may be scene throughe yt ;
yet at 1 0 or 1 1 of the clocke in the morninge, when they come
from sea, they sell theyre whole boates ladinge for 4*., or if they
doe gett a crown they suppose to have chaffered fayre. Three
comonly come in one boate, each of them havinge two oares,
which they governe by dravvinge the one hande over the other.
The boate yt self is builte of wainscott, for shape exceedinge all
modles for shippinge : twoe men will easely carrye y t on lande
betwene them, yet are they soe secure in them at sea, that
some in a storme have lyved abroade three dayes ; their greateste
danger is neerest home, where the waves breake dangerouslye,
but they, acquainted with those seas, espieinge a broken wave
readye to overtake them, suddenly oppose the prowe or sharpe
ende of theyr boate unto yt, and mountynge to the toppe, de-
scende downe, as yt were into a valleye, hoveringe untyll they
espye a whole wave come rowlinge, which they observe comonly
'" Redcar is now a flourishing place, and, with its near neighbour Coatham, much
frequented for sea-bathing. The well known William Hutton of Birmingham
published " A Trip to Coatham," in 1810, and Mr. Ord describes a considerable
increase of prosperity since that period.
" Interesting modern accounts of the manners of the fishermen on this coast will
be found in Sir Cuthbert Sharp's History of Hartlepool, p. 150, and Mr. Ord's
Cleveland, p. 298. Sir Cuthbert Sharp has given an etching of an Hartlepool
Coble, p. 154, with this note ; " Cuople, navicula. Lye's Saxon Diet. Coble
seems to be generally used to denote a flat-bottomed boat for se«. fishing."

to be an odde one ; wherupon mountinge with their cobble,
as yt were upon a greate furyous horse, they rowe with might
and mayne, and together with that wave drive themselves on
lande. But many tymes yt happens, that when their wives,
children, or freindes, are readye to give them theyre handes,
the wave, sodainlye recoylinge backe, overwhelmes them topsye
turvey. Of curtesye they presente their first chapman with
a fishe ; and if any byd money and be refused, yet, though
another outbyd him, it is in his choise to be halfe in the bar-
gaine. » They have a custome every yeare to change their fel-
lowes for good luck sake, as they esteeme yt ; and upon St.
Peter's daye, they invyte their frends and kinsfolks to afestyvall p
kept after their fashion, with a free herte, and no shewe of
nigardise. That daye rheir boates are dressed curuouslye to the
shewe, their mastes are painted, and certaine rytes observed
amongste them, with sprinkling their boates with good liquor,
solde with them at a groate a quarte ; which custome or super-
stycion suckt from their auncestors contynueth even unto this
presente.
" Sir Cuthbert Sharp supplies the following extracts from the statutes respecting
the Fishermen in 1599, in the corporation records of Hartlepool, directly illustrat-
ing the statement of the text : —
" 76. Ytt is ordeyned, for the avoydinge of all contraversyes which hereafter
may growe betwixte the freemen of this town and the forryners, for the buy-
inge of fyshe and askinge parte thereof, that everye freeman of this town buy-
inge a cobble of fyshe shall enjoy the same, without partinge with anie forryner.
But if the forryner be the fyrst buyer of anie suche cobble of fyshe, and a freman
being presente at the buyinge thereof, and askinge parte of the same, the sayd
freman or fremen soe askinge parte, shall enjoy. If the freeman bee not the fyrst that
asketh parte of such fyshe, butt the second or the third, then ytt ys ordeyned that
the freman shall have butt parte with the others that before hyme asked parte
thereof." [An important amendment of the punctuation has been made, which
was overlooked by Sir C. Sharp.]
" 84. Ytt is ordeyned, that the maister, or some other of everie cobble of this
town, shall make twoo-pennye worth of fyshe to any of theire neighboures
askeinge the same for there own provysyon, yf they have nott made four-pennye-
worthe foorth before, upon payne to paye for everye time not soe doeing vj<?."
P " The old-fashioned fair, or feast, is still held on the Monday and Tuesday after
Trinity, but without being stained by its former exhibitions of dissoluteness and
extravagance. At these feasts the fishermen's wives and daughters exhibit a na-
tural emulation ; bright yellow and flaming scarlet being the favourite ornaments
of attire. Quarrels are then settled, and matches arranged ; the families of the
fishermen marrying, almost without exception, among themselves." (Ord, p. 299.)
It was from these fishermen that our great circumnavigator. Captain James Cook,

If the sea growe proude by the styrringe of the wyndes, yt is
a worthye spectacle to behoulde the fury of that rigorous ele-
ment, which with a hydeous roaringe bespeweth all the rockes,
and foameth as a pott boyleinge over the brymme.
Many poore women gett a sory livinge by pullinge crabbs and
lobsters out of the rockes with hookes fastened to longe poales.
There are plentye of cockles, mussels, and Jympetts, wherwith
to bayte their hookes. As for oysters, some fewe are taken by
chaunce, cleavinge to their lynes. Artifyciall braynes, think-
inge to suplye the defecte of nature, have thoughte vainely to
breede oysters there, by bringinge them from other places, and
puttinge them in beds, beinge ignorante that oysters breede by
a seminary vertue in the slyme of the sea, and not by generation
of male or female, or conceptyon in themselves, as many sup-
pose that hermophroditycall vegitables doe.
Alonge the shoare the sandes lye fayre and levell tyll you
aryve at a high hill called Huntley Nabbe ; there the coaste be-
ginnes to rise highe, full of craggs and steepe rockes, wherein
meawes, pidgeons, and sea-foule breede plentifullye. At the
foote of that hill I noted a poynte well worthy the observatyon.
There lay dispersed many stones, which at fyrst sight I should
have taken for bulletts of greate artyllerye, if any blockiiouse
had bin at hande; their roundnes, divers sizes fitt for divers
diameters of peeces, and weight, were such as I coulde not
imagine them to be naturall. With greate difficultye I caused
some of them to be broken, which appeared inwardlye to re-
semble bell-mettle, but in the very center thereof there lay a
worme or small snaile wreathed in a circle, both in colour and
scales formed to the life, the heades only excepted, which was
wanting in them all ; yet since that tyme I sent you diverse of
these serpentes with their heades entyre.
Here the sea castinge upp peble stones maketh the shoare
troublesome to passe.
At Saltburne ^ mouth, a small brooke dischargeth yt self into
the sea, which lyinge lowe under the bankes serveth as a trunke
or conduite to convey the rumor of the sea into the neighbour
feildes, for when all wyndes are whiste, and the sea restes un-
moved as a standinge poole, sometymes theie is such a hor-

At Skenegrave the olde proverbe is verifyed, that abundance
makes them poore ; for albeyt that they take such abundance of
fishe, that often they are forced to throwe greate parte of ther
purchase over-boarde, or make their greater sorte of fishe for
lighter carriadge shorter by the heade, neverthelesse, for the
moste parte, what they have they drinke ; and, howsoever they
reckon with God, yt is a famihar maner to them to make even
with the worlde at night; that pennilesse and carelesse they
may goe lightly to labour on the morrowe morninge. It was my
fortune to see the cominge in of a five-man coble which in one
night had taken above twenty-one score of greate fishe, a yearde
or an ell in length ; happie were that contrey if a generall fish-
inge were enterteyned by buildinge busses and store of fish-
boates.
Ould men, that would be loath to have theer credytes crackt
by a tale of a stale date, reporte confidentlye, that sixty yeares
since, or perhaps eighty or more, a Sea-Man was taken by the
fishers of that towne, whome duringe many weekes they kepte
in an oulde house, giveinge him rawe fishe to eate, for all other
foode he refused. In steede of voyce he skreaked, and shewed a
curteous acceptance of such as flocked farre and neere to visyte
him; fayre maydes were welcomest guestes to his harbour,
whome he would behould with a very earneste countenance, as if
his phelgmaticke breste had bin touched with a sparke of love.
One daye, when the good demeanure of this newe gueste had
made his hoastes secure of his aboade with them, he privily stoale
out of doores, and ere he could be overtaken recovered the sea^
whereinto he plonged himself; yet, as one that would not un-
manerly depart without takinge of his leave, from his mydle up-
wards he raysed his shoulders often above the waves, and mak-
inge signes of acknowledging his good entertainment to such
as beheld him on the shoare, as they interpreted yt, after a
pretty while he dived downe, and apeared no more.

upon the face of the hill, I felte a stronge sente to yssue thence,
not much unlike that savour wliich vapours from the furnaces
wherein aquafortis is drawne. Curiosytie drawinge me neerer,
to prye into the secret cause therof, I perceaved the stones to be
stayned with severall collours, yellovve, riiddye, and greene, in
many places overgrowne with a cruste of saltish matter, which
ray taste assured me to conteyne coperas, nyter, and sulpher.
The same substance continued all alonge the coaste, tyll I came
to Rawescliffe, s where more aparant signes of meane mineralls
confirmed the opinion I had before conceaved ; for in many
stones I founde peices of marquesyte, both in wayte and collour
resemblinge massye brasse, and which was more strange, by
throwinge of stones up to the rockes, certaine balles of brasse fell
downe in bignesse scarce soe greate as a walnutt, but in shappe
so perfectly imitatinge the forme of a pine-aple, that a moste
artifyciall workman could not thinke scorne to take them for his
patern.
On Hartlepoole-syde, as also in some creekes where I passed,
there is a certaine kinde of refyned sande, pretious to the people
thereaboutes for scowringe of vessel] ; yt is white, and therfore
called sylver sande, the smalnesse and subtyltie therof is such,
that yt is carryed in the ayre, even into close cupbordes and
chestes, within the inner moste partes of the houses adjoyninge.
Towardes HuntsclifFe and Bulfeetgate there are certaine
rockes that at a lowe water are left discovered, wherupon
scales in greate herdes like swine use to sleepe, and beake them-
selves against the sunne ; for their better securytie, they put in
use a kinde of military discipline, warely preparinge againste a
soddaine surprise ; for on the outermoste rocke one greate scale
or more keepes sentynell, which upon the first inklinge of any
danger giveth the alarum to the reste, by throwinge of stones, or
makinge a noise in the water ; when he tumbleth downe from
the rocke, the reste immediately doe the like, insoemuch that yt
is very harde to overeache them by ruiminge ; yf it fortune that

to me, and hard to be beleved, that you had a yonge scale
taken uppon the drye sande, which for the space of a moneth was
kepte in your parlour, feeding him with milke and breade, which
it sucked greedelye; and that in fewe dayes he knewe his keeper
soe well that he would crawle after him, lowinge alowde, from
the parlour to the kytchin, where upon the hearth, after his
belly was well fyld, he used to turne up his syde to the heate of
the fyre. He dyed, as yt was tolde me, by the myshappe of one

week in the house and felt the refreshinge of the fyre, he would
never indure the water, thoughe you threwe him oftentymes into

On the Bishopricke syde of the cliffes are certaine vaultes

Hob-hole, or the residence of Hob, and is supposed to possess the power of curing

Not farre from Whitby is a peice of grounde, called Whitby
stronde, over which the inhabitantes affyrme that noe wild-goose

and that kinde of fowle ; if yt be a tale, I wonder much that
soe palpable a lye should from many adges be nurished by many
men of worthe, whome yt ill beseemeth to give vent to such

Another wonder they ascribe to a certaine Saint Hilda,* or St.
Hile, whoe by his powerfuU prayers, when the contry theraboutes
was overlayd by serpents, drave them into the harte of the harde

stance, not unlike that which we suppose to be the thunderbolt.
Litle did the first inventers of this weake fable consyder, that
God from the firste beginninge made nature sporte herselfe in
the varyetie of miraculous workes ; and, as in these serpentes the
head is wantinge, soe have I scene in ther states out of which
they drawe copper at Manflet in Germanye, the perfecte shape
of a fish traced out with fynnes and scales, and all other partes
thereof, the head onely excepted ; the reason wherof 1 referre to

naturall philosophic. But by the waye thus much I thought

Lord Bruce, and dignifyed with ilie tytle of an Honour, which
by mariadge came to the Lord Faulconbridge, and successively to
the Lord Conyers, whoe leavinge three daughters copartners of
his estate, much variance fell betwixte their husbandes for the
devisyon of their shares, that neither partye beinge inclyned to
yeld unto other, every one for despite ruyned that parte of the
castle wherof he was in possessyon, " lest afterwards by suy te of
lawe the lott should fall to another. Insomuch that the goodly
chappell, one of the Jewells of this kingdome, rudely wente to
grounde, with the fayre hall and large towers. Peter de Bruis,
Sonne of Jocelin, sometimes lord of the castle, delighted soe
much in the beautye of the chappell, that he gave certaine landes
unto Henrye Percye, upon condicion that every Christmas day
he should come to that castle, and leade his wife by the arme
from her chamber to the chappell. But nowe scarcely are the
ruynes of a chappell ^ to be seene, such barbarisme raseth out
the glorye of noble familyes, when an entyre right of inheritance
is not invested in the person of one man.^'
Wearyed with the unpleasinge tale, I passed on tyll another
spectacle of better recreatyon presented ytself on the other hand
of the waye ; a well or fountaine called Cawdkell Well, indued
with the vertue of healinge ulcers, cancers, and diverse diseases
of like qualitye. The tast therofwas somewhat sharpe, yet not
soe quicke that it could at the first experiment be discovered,
untyll by often sippinge of yt I founde y t to be stiptike in my
lippes, and to grate a litle on the roofe of my mouth, both which
were assured argumentes of some mineralls at hande. A stander
by, to put me oute of doubte, toulde me that not farre off, in
the waye which we were to passe, there was a newe worke
sett upp in hope of makeinge quantetye of allume and coperas.
Desyre of noveltye soone caryed me thither, where, neere unto

thirste of my longinge mynde, for of longe tyme I had a restlesse

onely eye-gazers of furnaces, pitts, coolers, and such implements,
leaste of all affected me, for my humor leade me awaye with a
fancy to knowe by what arte, happe, or hazarde the proba-
bilitye of these mynes was first conceaved. As God would have
yt, I lighte in the company of a gentleman, your kinsman, of
fayre condycion, whoe by much labour and many losses, in the
Isle of Lambaye in Ireland, had gotten more then a smatteringe
in the skyll of allumworkes. After some usuall passages of cur-
tesye, I earnestlye required his informacion concerninge the
whole processe of those workes, wherunto he willinglie conde-
scended, makeinge me, as occasion served, an eye-witnesse of such
occurrences as fell within the compasse of his discourse. " Sir,
(quoth he) the place wherin you now sett your foote may well
be called the Aumbrey of nature, for many of those raretyes
which are dispersed in sondrye other storehouses of severall
contryes, are here compassed in a lyttle circuyte of grounde.
And that I may the better give you taste of this my assertyon,
if yt please you with your dagger's point to breake upp the
shivers of the slate where you see the overfall of water, you shall
not fayle to reape a good hansell of your expectation." These
wordes were as a commandinge spurre to my eager mynde, that
was ready to gape at every bayte of noveltye. What will you
more? The stone was spongie and apte to cleave, somewhat
blewish, and intermingled with small sparkles of white, wherin
nature had couched litle heapes of mussells, cockles, oysters, and
scallops, distinctlye separated one from another; of theserpentyne
stones alsoe, afore mentyoned, there was, as our countriemen
saye, no geason. The shelfishe reteyned the true forme and
collour of the naturall, but within as well as without they were
all of solyde stone. The comon receaved opinion is, that at
Noahes floude, when the waters were maisters of the earthe,
those shells, together with the slyme, were carryed into the
lower valleyes, where by tracte of tyme both slyme and shells
grewe unto that passe which the worlde at this daye houldes for
a wonder. For myne owne parte, albeyt that I have alwayes
avoyded the note of singularytie, and holde yt almoste impietye
to declyne from our forefathers' footesteppes, notwithstandinge,
where antiquitye hath no sounde backe of reason, I esteeme yt
indiscretyon precisely to buyld on yt, or at leaste a veniall
sinne warelye to suspecte yl. I demanded therfore of the gen-
422 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND,
tleman, for my better satisfactyon, whether there were any rea-
sons currant amongste them wherby to maintayne the credyte
of this tradytion, for yt seemed unto me, that, seinge the sea
was foure myles of, and the river situated highe in the downfall
of a hill, all other valleys and gilles neere unto the sea, and
deeper than yt, should by all likelihoode perticipate of the same
fortune in the deluge. " I cannot certainely (sayde the gentle-
man) define any thinge in a matter of such intrycacye, neither
have I bin brought up soe longe in the philosophicall schooles,
that myself is able to descant uppon yt, but what I have re-
ceaved from minerall masters, I will deliver you as good-
cheape as yt came to me. The sea (as they conceave) besydes
the common knowne course of floude and ebbe, hath a circular
motyon, as whirled about with the primum mobile, wherby they
inferre that, when all the worlde was an ocean the floude ran
naturally from easte to weste. In testimony whereof they pro-
duce theyr experience in the beddinge of mynes and stone,
which for the moste parte dippe towardes the easte and rise to-
wardes the weste. Nowe, forasmuch as the rocks wherein the
shells are founde are manifestly scene to lye in the same man-
ner, yt followeth by all probability, that the matter of the rocke
and the shells were transported thither in the tyme of the
great inundacion. And whereas you make scruple, that neerer
and lower places have none of the like matter, we fynde many
times on the syde of greate mountaines bothe stones and greate
bankes of earthe which are not originally any parte of the hill,
but in the confusion of the deluge were not every where caste,
but in those places only where there was any obstacle hindered
the further transportation, or place fyt for repose. The igno-
rance wherof hath undermined many a good man, when retch-
lesse myners, findinge an outbreake of metall in the loose earthe,
warrante all the hill to be ritche of the same vayne. Noe arrowe
is shott so highe that yt hath not a fallinge place, which cannot
be every where, but where we fynde yt there we take yt uppe,
not caringe greately why yt fell not elsewhere. Soe fares yt
with these shells, wherof we can yelde noe argument why they are
not in yonder hill, or that playne, but it sufficeth that there
we fynde them where the floud lefte them." " You have
touched the purpose to the quicke (quoth I) ; but, savinge the
opinyon of those whome you call minerall maisters, I cannot

subscribe to their judgmentes, that affirme the cause of the dip-
pinge and risinge of mineralls and rockes eastward and westward
to proceede from the motyon of the waters held in the floude,
for then of consequence yt shoulde foUowe that ahnoste all the
hills were razed by the floude ; which pointe I thinke needelesse
to dwell on, seeinge it is certaine that the first Mover of nature
in the firste creatyon, beautefyeinge his worke with varyetye of
soyles, made mountaines as well for jhe use and delyghte of man
as valleyes, and had there not bin mountaines from the begin-
inge Tubalcayn could not have had yron and brasse to worke ;
for thoughe yt be admitted that he might finde them in the
rivers or lowe groundes, which are called streame workes, yet
these washings have their discente from the beame worke in the
mountaine, as our Cornishmen fynd by daylie experience;
neither the waters could have bin sayde to have overtopped the
highest hills fifteene cubites, neither could the Arke have rested
upon Mount Ararate. You expecte, perhapps, a philosophical!
reason of this dippinge and risinge, whicli I confesse to be too
hard a nutt for me to cracke, and therfore, as a blinde Bayarde,
I will not hardelye adventure yt. Notwithestandinge, you muste
give me leave for my better instructyon to objecte, that in the
lowe townes of Maske and Cottam the cockells and mussells,
layde to manure their feilde, are dissolved by heate and coulde,
froste and thaweinge, into a sake lymie substance, which maketh
the earthe apter to receave the seede caste in by the husband-
man's hande. If those shells in a yeare or two loose their
shappes, howe comes yt to passe that these should contynue soe
manye hundred yeares ? " " You saye more (qwoth the gentle-
man) than I have heretofore bethought myself of; yet, as I can
upon a soddaine, I will give you an answere, thoughe perhaps
but a sleeveles one. Like as corne is preserved in some garners
longer than in others, soe are the shells longer kepte entyre
when they are bui'yed deper in the earth, and suffer a contynuall
concoctyon, then where they are exposed to windes and sunne,
and consequently, by intermissyon of the natural! degrees of
heate, are made subjecte to putrifactyon. Doe we not see that
oystershells covered with the earthe, by reason of the thirstye
sake humour which is in them, lyttle by lyttle drinke so much
of the moysture of the earth as the inward heate may congeale
into a cruste, reiteratinge these inbibicions tyll the heate of the
424 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND,
■sake be soe qualiFyed that yt utterly looseth the attractive ver-
tiie, and there they remaine, in the forme of oysters, thoughe in
substance yt seeme a kinde of stone, which beinge broken,
shevveth howe one coate successivelye hathe growne over an-
othei". This instance I offer onely to prove that shells may be
of a longe durance; but seinge that these shells exceede not
the size of the naturall, and are all of one solyde piece, I will
shewe you the qualitye of this earth, and then remitt the consy-
deracion therof to your discretyon." Takinge me by the hande
(for the descente of the banke was steepe) he led me to certaine
mosses or quagmires, on the syde of the ryver, where, in lyttle
pittes, the water stoode covered with a blewish scumme, inter-
mingled with a rustye yellowe. One of the workmen that he
called, with a spade tooke upp pieces of stone that resembled
the combes when the hony is taken out of them; but when I
stoode for a while doubtfull what to make of them, they assured
me that they were nothinge else but mosse, congealed by the
minerall constipacion of allume and copperas, the oare whereof
they shewed me plentifullye growinge on eyther syde of the
bankes. This mosse soe hardned and burnte in a lymekyll
proveth most excellent plaister, and albeyt that the greene
colour of the mosse be tinted yellowe in the quagmire, yet there
is noe aparance that the bulke of the mosse is any thinge in-
creased by that metamorphosis. There were some contrymen
present that held an opinion that I mentyoned a lytle afore, to
produce cockles and mussells ; for by their experyence they had
founde (if they were not deceaved) that parte of that earth be-
inge removed and layd in a good heape, close rammed together,
that after some yeares, in the openinge thereof, they discovered
shells half made, some newly begun, and others almoste finished,
but for want of due concoctyon soe tender, that beinge roughlie
touched imediatly they fell aparte. The coperas oare lyeth
there close to a rustye iron-stone, and hath the very savour and
taste of coperas ; y t teynteth the water yellowe, and where yt
setleth in the grounde yt hardneth into yellowe oaker. A
litle above the myne I perceaved an outburste of a vayne of
sande, which by the russett colour and savour, not unlike to
the earth of a churcheyarde, I conceaved to be of the same nature
with the minerall sande of Pozzuolo neere Naples, which sande,
doubtlesse by reason of the astringent fume of the coperas con-

teynecl in yt, joyned with lime, maketh a mortar as stronge as
cyment ; and seinge I am falne upon this subjecte, give me leave
to digresse, to th'ende that I may informe you somewhat of the
an tyent artifyciall marble, of which sorte I could never assure
myselfe untill that by chaunce, walkinge in the chapterhouse at
Gysbrough, I remarked a broken piller, that had a cruste of
blewe pollished stuffe, like naturall blewe marble, the inner parte
beinge nothinge else but a piece of ordinarye freestone. The
sight whereof put me into memory of an observatyon of yours
made upon the greate pyramids, commonly called the Devill's
Boultes, neere Burrough Brigges, for, if I mistake not my self,
I heard you once relate that you founde the composycion of
those huge stones to conteyne gryttie sande, lyme, and coperas ;
forasmuch as you founde some graynes of coperas undissolved
therein. If I maye by conjecture ayme at the marke, I must
needes say, that yt is probable that this marble cruste was com-
pounded of the like substance, viz. of a blewe harde stone found
there in the shallowe ry vers, and knowne by the name of a lyme-
stone ; of which stone, finely beaten and searced, after yt hath
bin halfe calcyned, take two partes, and of the same stone not
calcined but broken three partes, of quicke lyme made of marble
or blacke flynte one parte. All these beinge tempered with the
oulde glayre of egges, or water wherin sal gemmce. is dissolved,
(which hath the propertye to turne wood beinge steeped therein
into a stone, ) make an excellent marble ; and when your plaister
soe tempered is of the thicknes of cyment, eyther caste yt in
mouldes, or applye yt to pillers, as they doe worke plaister of
Parys ; lastly, when yt is drye, burnish yt with oyle, and with
parte of the calcyned stone. This receipte I toke out of an
antyent booke belonginge to some of the Abbey, and consyder-
inge yt, entred into a conceyte that insteade of sal gemmee or
whites of egges, allum water might very aptly be incerted in the
mixtures.
But to returne againe to the myne of Allome, you shall under-
stand that I merveyled much howe yt coulde be discovered,
seinge neither the stuffe founde at the Lord Montjoyes workes
or other parts of this isle have any reference in collour or taste
one to another, especiallie seinge that the pure allome stone
neither fumeth in his bedde nor uppon the tongue hath any
bindinge relishe, and surely for myne owne parte I should have
426 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND,
taken tlie cloddes thereof digged neere the daye to have bin
meere marie, like as Mr. Corney your tennaunte imagined, and
fbunde them to be very rich manure for his lande. The stone
that is founde lovv^er within the earth seems to be a very solyde
stone, though beinge exposed to the ayre yt sweateth out a
saltish aluminous hoarines, and litle by litle scaleth av^^aye into
earth. It was told me by the gentleman your kinsman that yt
was your owne good fortune to discover yt ; y for when as about
y The particulars which now follow, with others gleaned from preceding pas-
sages of the memoir, were condensed by Camden into the following statement, which,
appearing first in the edition of the Britannia printed in 1607, announced to the
world Sir Thomas Chaloner's undertaking : —
" Tliis soil is fruitful, and produces grass and fine flowers a great part of the
year, [this, it will be seen, from'p. 407,] it abounds with veins of metal and alum-
earth, of several colours (but especially those of ochre and murray,) from
which they now begin to extract the best sort of alum and copperas. This was
discovered a few years since by the admirable sagacity of that learned naturalist
Sir Thomas Chaloner, knight, (to whose tuition his majesty King James hath com-
mitted the delight and glory of Britain, his son Prince Henry,) by observing that
the leaves of the trees were of a more weak sort of green here than in other places,
that the oaks shot forth their roots very broad, but not deep, and that these
had much strength, but little sap in them ; that the soil was a white clay, speckled
with several colours, namely, white, yellowish, and blue; that it never froze; and
that, in a pretty clear night, it shined and sparkled like glass on the road-side."
Graves, in his History of Cleveland (p. 427), states that Sir Thomas Chaloner
" in his travels in Italy, examining the Pope's allum-works near Rome, and ob-
serving that the mineral there was greatly similar to one in the neighbourhood of
Guisbrough, became desirous to make the attempt ; but, as he was a stranger to
the process, he found it necessary to procure workmen from the Pope's allum-
works ; whom, by secret promises of a large reward, he prevailed upon to ac-
company him privately into England ; when he immediately erected an allum -
work upon his estate at Guisbrough, which in a short time so completely an-
swered his expectations, as to reduce considerably the price of allum, and brought
him in yearly a large revenue. This circumstance so exasperated the Pope, that he
fulminated an anathema replete with curses against Mr. Chaloner, and the work-
men whom he had seduced." The recent historian of Cleveland, Mr. Ord, has seen
cause (at p. 80 of his work) to pronounce this account to be " exceedingly imperfect,
and wholly at variance with what seems the actual history of the case." The only
arguments, however, which he alleges against it, are that Fuller in his Wor-
thies, on noticing the introduction of the alum- works, does not mention the travels
of Sir Thomas Chaloner in Italy, but states that the workmen were brought over
from Rochelle in France, " whereof one was Lambert Russell by name, and a
Walloon by birth, not long since deceased," (whose portrait Mr. Ord has en-
graved, from a painting in the collection of R. Chaloner, Esq. at Long Hull.)
The two accounts do not appear to be irreconcileable ; for the circumstances
mentioned in both may have occurred ; and Mr. Ord had done well to have
investigated more thoroughly both the biography of Sir Thomas and the early his-
tory of the alum-manufacture. For the latter subject some materials would be
IN A LETTER TO SIR T. CHALONER. 427
a dozen yeares since you marked that all the leaves of the trees
growinge on the sydes of the hills were dyed with a sadder greene
then ordinarye, and that the oakes tooke no deepe roote, though
they grewe with a greate length, havinge this strange propertye,
that when they are barked there is in a manner noe sape, but
all harte in them, you concluded that the hoate exhalatyons of
the mynes ventinge from underneath, caused this difference from
trees growinge in other places ; which opinion of yours I can
the more easily subscribe unto, because I have noted that even
in the valleyes, where the breath of the sea cannot blaste, the
toppes of the trees are seared and scorched. Your observatyon
taken of the varyetyes of the earths, of cleyes of sundry collours,
yellowe, white, and blewe, and of such stones wherewith they
found among the Burghley papers in the Lansdowne collection. In the current
biographical account of Sir Thomas Chaloner, (Birch's Life of Prince Henry, &c.)
it is noticed that he published in London, in 1584, in 4to, a treatise on the " Vir-
tue of Nitre, wherein is declared the sundry cures by the same effected:" and
" about the end of Queen Elizabeth's reign first discovered an alum-mine near
Gisburgh, in Yorkshire, where he had an estate; but, it being adjudged to be a
mine-royal, little benefit arose from it to him or his family, till the Parliament of
1640 voting it a monopoly, it was restored to the proprietors." It is thought that
the discontent engendered by the state exactions led to two of Sir Thomas's sons
taking part among the regicides.
A copy of Sir Thomas Chaloner's will, dated 26th November 1615, is in the
Harl. MSS. no. 1970, art. 32, in which he says, " I have conveyed unto my bro-
ther-in-law Sir William Fleetwood, the two parts in three parts to be divided of
the profit that shall or may accrue or come of my part of the allum mines for the
benefit of my children which I had by my first wife, which I hold to be a very suffi-
cient advancement for them ; now my will is, that the residue of the profit
which shaU or may accrue, or of right ought to accrue or come to me out of
the said allum mines and works, shall be divided amongst the children which
I had by Dame Judith, my late wife, at the discretion of my executors. Item,
whereas my daughter Dame Mary Fisher hath not as yet had any portion from me,
my mind is, that out of the said allum mines and works which are to be divided
amongst my children by my said late wife, she shall have the dower of 12O0/. of
lawful English money, by 300/. per annum."
It is, however, to be noticed that Sir Thomas Chaloner was not the only projector
of this new manufacture. Anderson, in his History of Commerce, vol. iv. p. 406,
states, " The manufacture of alum was first found out in England and carried on
with success in 1608. It was supported and patronised in the county of York by
Lord Sheffield, Sir John Boucher, and other landholders of the said county, to the
great benefit of England in general, and of the proprietors in particular, to the pre-
sent day. King James was a great promoter of this alum work, after he had by
the advice of his minister appropriated to himself a monopoly of it, and forbidden
the importation of foreign alum.' '
428 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND,
beautefye marble tables at Florence, of severall sortes of free-
stone, and the unaptnes of the grounde to freeze, together with
the glisteringe sparkles appearinge like glasse in the pathes by
moonshine, were just motives to kyndle a fancye in you to un-
dertake the search of these hills and rivers, wherin though you
fayled at the fyrste, and could never be resolved by the best
mineralistes what kinde of stuffe might be extracted out of soe
base a minerall as yt appeared by the outwarde coate, neverthe-
lesse, after three yeares' travaile, and your kinsman's happie in-
terposinge himselfe in the tryall thereof, you have nowe founde
a gainefull rewarde, as I hope, for your peynes, and a meanes to
sett a number of poore on worke.
Upon Bellmanbanke there is a place conveniente for many
houses to worke allome, the myne itself extendinge all alonge
that hill, and exposed in such sorte to the breathe of the sea
and of the sunne and wynde, which are the onely ripeners of
the stone, that, all things consydered, a better place cannot be
founde in this cuntrye. Your charges wilbe very greate, and
mount to many thousandes ; but to comfort you I will not con-
ceale the experyence we have lately made, that your allome is
as good as the Romishe, and is stronger in settinge a collour.
Your myne of bole armonacke, wherin we finde certaine vaines
of such earth as is called Terra sigillata, might in my concey te
be imployed in makinge of such red pottes as come from Venice,
which are soulde very deare, by reason of the vertue ascribed
unto them ; what secret operatyon is in those pottes I know
not, but I am well assured that this earth, both the white and
the redde, beinge put to one's lippes will stycke faste to them,
even as those potts doe ; and yt is generally in such requeste in
these partes, that surgeons and apotecaryes fetch yt from as far
as Newcastle, preferringe yt before any bole that cometh from
beyonde the seas, aswell for matter of surgerye, as expellinge
poyson.
Nowe, beinge ready to drawe my dayes jorneye to an ende,
let me tell you first what I have noted in the religione of diverse
of the people hereaboutes ; for, findinge many of them besotted
with ould superstycions, I cannot chuse but pittye them, while
I skorne their opinyons.
They have a custome, that if any whistle after daylight is

closed, that he must be put out of the dores, and three tymes
goe about the house for pennance.
When any dieth, certaine women singe a songe to the dead
body, recytinge the jorney that the partie deceased must goe ; y
and they are of beleife (such is their fondnesse) that once in
their lives yt is good to give a pay re of newe shoes to a poor
man, forasmuch as after this life they are to passe barefoote
through a greate launde full of thornes and furzen, excepte by
the meryte of the almes aforesaid they have redeemed their for-
feyte : for at the edge of the launde an oulde man shall meete
them with the same shoes that were given by the partye when
he was livinge, and after he hath shodde them he dismisseth
them to goe through thicke and thin without scratch or scalle.
Another practice of others is more redyculous then the
former; for when any maydes take the potte of the fyer, in
greate haste she setts yt downe, and, without feare of burninge,
clappes her hands on the pothookes to staye them from shak-
inge ; and this she does for tender hearte, believinge that our
Lady weepeth or greeteth, as they terme yt, all the while the
pottehookes wagle, which were a lamentable case.
Betweene the townes of Aton and Newton, neere the foote of
Koseberry toppinge, there is a well dedicated to Saint Oswalde.
The neighboures adjoyninge have bin seduced with an opinion,
that if the shirte or smocke were taken of a sycke bodye, and
throwne into that well, a certaine token might be gathered of
his life or death ; for if the shirte floated alofte yt denounced
recovery to the partie, but in case yt sanke then there remayned
noe hope of health; and to th'end that the good saincte for his
paynes should not sytt emptye-handed, they teare of a ragge of
the shirte, and hange yt on the bryers thereabouts, whereof I
have scene such numbers as might have made a fayre shewe in
a paper-myll. ^

den Society, p. 89.
' " The leaving of rags at wells was a most singular species of superstition.
Bishop Hall ridicules a prayer of the Romish church for the blessing of clouts in
the cure of diseases. There is still a fountain called Rag-well, near Newcastle-on-
Tyne. By hanging some part of their raiment near the holy wells, the super-
stitious devotees imagined their diseases would thenceforth be removed. The cus-
tom is still common as a charm even in Persia and the interior of Africa. Han-

Cleveland, p. 293, where he notices the well of St. Hilda, which gives name to the

Page 406. The Bruces' Sepulchres. — The Bruce tomb at Gis-
borough, which is evidently of a date as late as Henry VII., was taken
from the monastery, and removed to the parish church. Two sides remain
in the porch, with the figures of St. Jerome, St. Augustin, and other
saints, with their emblems. It is inaccurately drawn in Dugdale's Mo-
nasticon, vol. vi. part 2, and Mr. Ord's own drawing, page 199, is not
sufficiently minute in the details. The fine slab which once formed the
top is now used as an altar table.
Ibid. Kylton Castle. — The demesne lands of the Twengs, or
Thwengs, afterwards Lords Lumley, attached to Kilton castle, were of
small extent ; the whole of the manor does not extend over more than
1650 seres. About the time of the attainder of George Lord Lumley,
the castle was purchased of Lord Lumley by William Thweng of Ormsby.
The Thwengs were living there 8th Charles I. ; and by Anne, daughter
and heiress of Thomas Thwenge, it was carried to the TuUys, who dis-
mantled the castle ; and by an heiress of the Tullys it was taken to the
Rev. John Waugh : he died leaving five daughters and coheiresses, who
sold the castle, manor, and estates, in 1790, to John Wharton, Esq.
P. 416. Skenegrave is now Skiningrave. In the division deed of
the Bruces, 1 Edw. I., part of the property consisted of the fishing boats
at Redcar, Gotham, and Skinningrave. There is now a bar at the
mouth of the beck, so that no fishing-boat can enter ; but salmon are
occasionally caught. The village (which is a township in Brotton
parish), now contains only 13 houses, and a population of 63 persons.
P. 420. Skelton Castle. — On the death of Peter Brus without
issue, his sisters succeeded to his estates, viz. Agnes, wife of Walter
Fauconberge ; Lucia, wedded to Marmaduke Thweng (from whom came
the Barons Lumley) ; Margaret, married to Robert de Ros of Helmsley ;
and Laderina, to John Belle-eau or Bella-aqua ; whereupon they did all
of them come to an agreement, which was confirmed by order of Court,
parish of Hinderwell. St. Oswald's well is not noticed in Mr. Ord's volume,
unless there is some confusion of this well " neere the foote of Roseberry Top-
pinge " with the fountain " neere the toppe of the hille," already noticed in p. 410,
and to which the story of Prince Oswy is attached.
SKELTON CASTLE. 431
A, D. 1273 (1 Edw. I.), for the division of all his lands amongst them.
Under this agreement all the estates were divided, and also the rights,
except the patronage of the Priory of Gisborough, which was held in
moieties by the Fauconberges and Thwengs ; and also the wreck of
the sea from Runswick bay to Yarm, which was held in equal
fourth parts. Skelton fell to Fauconberge ; and the heirs of the
family, being Barons of Yarm, continued for some generations at
Skelton castle : but in the end all these their lands came by a female
to Sir Wilham Neville, Lord Fauconberge, in right of his wife Joan,
who was sole daughter and heiress of Thomas the last Lord Fauconberge
of that family. He was created Earl of Kent by King Edward IV.,
but, dying without issue male, Skelton and all his other lands went to
his three daughters and coheirs, who were married to Sir John Conyers,
Sir Richard Strangwaies, and Sir Edward Bedhowing. After the feud
had subsided Skelton came to Alicia, the wife of Sir John Conyers ;
and descended in his family till the death of John Lord Conyers ^ in
3rd and 4th Philip and Mary (1537), when the estate passed to his
three coheiresses : Anne, married to Anthony Kempe ; EUzabeth, to
Thomas, son of Sir Arthur D' Arcy, Knt. ; and Katharine, to John
Atherton, Esq. Robert Trotter, of Pickering, purchased the share
of Kempe, and on the 23rd May, 35th Elizabeth, there was a partition
into thirds. The Trotters subsequently purchased the remaining
shares, and in 1650 became possessed of the whole estate. The estate
remained in that family until the flight of Lawson Trotter, in conse-
quence of being involved in the rebellion of 1745 ; when the castle, &c.
passed to his youngest sister, who had married Joseph Hall, and in the
members of that family, who have since changed their name to Whar-
ton, it still continues. Sir Henry Trotter, who died 1625, repaired the
old walls and tower, and built a square hall and dining-room on the site of
the chapel (the walls of which had been conveyed to him in 1611). The
castle, as he left it, is accurately represented in the woodcut to Ord's
Cleveland, p. 253, and in the preface to Mr. Hall Stevenson's Works,
who, being the proprietor of Skelton, in his whimsical fancy, denomi-
nated it Crazy Castle, and his romantic fictions were " Crazy Tales." ^
The demolition began in 1788 under the late Mr. John Hall Stevenson,
who took the nameof WTiarton, and the erection of the present nondescript
structure and remodelling of the old building were continued under Mr.
Bonomi, the architect, until 1820. The present owner of Skelton, John
Thomas Wharton, is descended on his mother's side from the Bruces.

432 A DESCRIPTION OF CLEVELAND, &C.
The following extract from a letter of Mr. Lionel Charlton, the His-
torian of Whitby, to Dr. Percy, afterwards Bishop of Dromore, dated
Jan. 3, 1780, it may be well to preserve in connection with the preced-
ing article, as Dunsley is a township of Cleveland, between Whitby and
Mulgrave Castle.
" Among several surveys that I have made is the family estate of the
Percys at Dunsley, of which I think it will not be disagreeable to give
you the following account : —
" The manor of Dunsley contains about 600 acres of inclosed land,
besides 777 acres which lie yet in moor. Sir John Sheffield, as a de-
scendant from the Duke of Buckingham, now possesses 342 acres of this
inclosed land, and it is that which I have lately been surveying. As
for the town of Dunsley, it contains no more at present than ten or
twelve dwelling-houses ; and in the middle of the town street (or rather
market-place) are yet to be seen the ruins of the chapel which formerly
stood there ; but, as the inhabitants have now a stone quarry close ad-
joining to it, human bones ai-e frequently dug up there, which, in my
opinion, is a kind of profanation of a place that was formerly sacred, no
ways decent to be seen in a Christian country. On the south-east part
of the town the traces of the Percy seat are yet to be seen, but
entirely in ruins. On the north side of the town stands a part of
the house wherein Lord Fairfax formerly lived in the time of the Great
Rebelhon, it being now the property of a very sensible and worthy free-
holder called Corner. As for the hermitage, it is situate north-west
from Dunsley, near Thordisa Beck, '^ almost surrounded with wood, and
now but httle known. It is on the south side of the beck, but its vicinity
to Mulgrave Castle, which stands on the north side thereof, gained it
the appellation of the Hermitage at Mulgrave. From Dunsley we have
a fine prospect of Dunsley Bay, but still a much finer prospect thereof
from a place called Auldeby, which is about a mile further west up into
the country, and adjoins the Horse Croft, on the north-west part of the
manor of Dunsley. Hei-e art seems to have been joined to nature to
form a place fit for the reception of some branch of the royal family in
the days of Edwin the Northumbrian king. Its yet retaining the same
name with the palace of that monarch, seems a strong argument in
favour of what I now assert ; I cannot help thinking Prince Hererick
once lived there, and that it was the birth-place of Lady Hylda, being
on the utmost extremity of Dunsley manor, not quite a mile distant from
the well that yet retains her name, near Swarthow Cross, and no more than
five or six miles from that other well which also bears her name in Hilder-
well churchyard." — (Nichols's Literary Illustrations, vol. viii. p. 188.)

be to the use of my sister for her liefe, and after to the use of
the said Georg and of the heiers wcl» he showld beget on the
body of my saied sister, w^h yem to his right heiers, w^^'^ some of
xi hundreth pownds was not payed, nor any estate made or
offered by the saied George, and so the saied recognisance to
this day forfeted.
Wilh'am Fleet having the inheritance of the saied Eastner, by
reason the saied mony was not paied by the said George, did by
will geve it unto the saied George and Mary Morton his wiefe
in tayle ; rem to the right heiers of Georg uppon condytion of
paym't of 500/. 28 September 1593 (untill wcl» tyme the saied
William Fleet had taken a leas of the saied George at an under
rent in consyderation of the loane of the saied 500/.) and after
decease of the saied William (his wyll being voyd for a third
part, having other land howlden in cap.) his heier was fownd
warde, and a third part of Estnor in the Q. by reason therof
during the minoryty, after w* George Morton dyd compas
the warde (the rather for that his land was in the Q. during
the mynoryty), and then he sowld the same to Mr. Charles Scot.
After wch the saied George, being carelesse to pay the saied 500/.
at the saied 28 Sept. 1593, did suffer the same land to faull into
the hands of Wiiliam Fleet, the sonne being then in warde and
not of age untill a moneth after the saied day of paym't; and
after the saied warde being come to age the saied Mary Morton
did by her freends pcure the saied some of 500/. and dyd pay it
unto the saied William Fleet, who dyd then assuer the same to
the saied William Fleet, who dyd then assuer the same to the
saied Mary and her children, and so by vertue of that assurance
the estate therof now standeth as yt is.
M^, The manner of Estner being extended at the suit of one
Roger Revill uppon a statut of 1200/. acknowledged by the saied
George (the extent being good for the 1 1 parts geven by the
will), I was forced to compound for that extent (being whilest
the saied George Morton dyd lyve), and he had in mony 40/. of
the rent of Eastnorand one hundreth pownde pcell of my 1000/.
recognisance wch I admister as exor to my father; and his land

shall in my name take the benefyt of th'extent, and that I will
not realeas the same : wherof care is to be had. After I had
prayed execution uppon that recognisance for the saied 100/.
pcell of the 1000/. I was forced all my brother Morton's lief to
make continuance uppon the recorde of the extents prayed into
dyvs sheers for the other 900/. w^h was very chargeable unto me,
as well that, as the tran§ of the saied statute of 1200/. put over
to the Queen by the late Lord Cheife Baron to gayne poryty
of extent, all wch cost me of myne owne mony more then l/. But
now by the decease of my brother Morton the same 900/. is to
be levied uppon the resydue of his land sovvld by new Scire fuc.
wthout that daunger w'='' in his lief tyme was ; for then if my
recognisance had byn extended for the other 900/., being the
first and most antient recognisance, yt would have browght all
the purchasors to ther extents, so as my brother Morton's owne
pson vvovvld have byn in dawnger to have lyen for satisfaction of
them that had no other remedy, and therfore it was thowght
best duringe his lief to make continuances of the pees only from
tearme to tearme, and so to expect the execution tyll after his
decease. And now his Sonne and heier being of age, I doe
leave the same to him to sue when he will ; and will avow any-
thing that he shall lawfully psecut therin in my name for his
only use and benefyt, and at his alone charges. Soe in a booke

THE DOMESTIC CHRONICLE OF THOMAS GODFREY, ESQ.
The following domestic history was written by Thomas Godfrey,
Esquire, successively of Winchelsea, Hailing in Kent, St, Giles's
Cripplegate, and Hoddiford, in the parish of Sellinge, near Ronmey,
M.P. for New Romney, and father of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey,
the Westminster magistrate murdered in the year 1678, is here printed
from a transcript in the MS. Lansdowne, 235. It appears to have been
commenced in 1608, and continued to 1655. He died in 1664.
Jan. 21st -1608.
Thomas Godfrey, the second son of Thomas Godfrey of Lidd,
in Kent.
I was borne the third of January 1585, according to my
father's book ; my mother's name was Ehzabeth, sole daughter
and heir of Mich. Pix, of Ashford, sometime Jurat of Folkstone,
where my mother was borne, and also Jurat of Hith; from
whence he went Bailif to Yarmouth. He had a dwelling also
at Faversham, at Deale, Burie in Suffolk, at St. Catherine's
White Chappell in London, at Kingsnorth (blank), and at
Elam, in Kent, where he was buried. » My mother died in the
year 1589, and was buried at Detling, in Kent, whither shee went
to be a wittness to one of my cousin John Epps his children.
She left behind her myselfe and my sister Ehzabeth, since mar-
ried to John Nethersole,^ of Nethersole, in Kent, gent. After
* The following epitaph to our diarist's maternal grandfather was copied by Par-
sons from a brass plate on the floor of Elham ehurcli :
" Here Michell Pyx interred lyes,
Of Folkstone mayor and Hith,
Bayly to Yarmouth once he was
Long time before he died.
His only sonne he left behind,
Who Thomas hath to name,
With blubber' d cheeks and pensive mind
He caused to wright the same.
" He decesed the xxv. of September, anno 1601, being of the age of lxx. years.'*
Parsons's Monuments in Kent, p. 380. By " Bayly to Yarmouth," is meant an
officer who was sent to Yarmouth from the Cinque Ports for the general regulation
of the herring fishery, and remained there, whilst the free fair lasted, for a period of
forty days. See a note upon this subject, in Manship's History of Great Yarmouth,
edited by Charles John Palmer, Esq. F.S.A., 4to. 1847, p. 102.

my mother's death I hved from my father with my aunt Berrie
untlll I was eicjht vears old ; from whence I went to Challock, to
the grammar school!, with Mr. John Lancashire my schooll-
master, and boarded with my uncle Sorlis Hawker (whose wife
was sister by my mother's side to my father's first wife, whose
name was Mary Partridge, by whom he had only my brother
Peter),*; where I staid about some seven years; from whence I
went in the year 1599 to 8t. John's in Cambridge, where I was
twelve months Pensioner, and afterwards Fellow Commoner,
Mr. Robert Spalding my first tutor, Mr. Peter Benlos my
second, who, after he had been Batchellor of Divinity and
senior of the house, left England, and turned Jesuit. My abode
there was some three years and better ; from whence I was ad-
mitted to the Middle Temple, where my chamber was the
middle lower chamber on the left hand in Brick Court.
Whence, after I had been about some three years, my father
recommended me to the Right honourable the Earl of North-
ampton, Baron of Marnhill, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports^
Lord Privy Scale, one of the Earl Marshall's commissioners, and
likewise for the office of Lord Treasurership, Knight of the
Garter, and one of his Majesties Privy Counsell, Henry, brother
to the late Duke of Northfolk, and Stuart of Oxford, on whom I
attended as one of his gentlemen in ordinary for the space of two
years; from whence, by reason of my marriage (on Ascention
day, being the 5 May, 1609, in St. Catherine's by the Tower)
with Margaret, the sole daughter of William Lambard, of
Greenwich, Esq. one of the Masters of the Chancery, ^ I re-
tired myselfe into the country, and lay for one yeare at sojourne
with Mr. Robert Bowler, of Winchelsea, in the county of Sus-
sex, gent, in whose house my first child, being a son,e was borne
in anno 1609, March the 27th, being Monday, betweene 4 and
5 in the afternoone, and was christened the ninth of Aprill,
being Palm Sunday, in the forenoone, the witnesses were, my
wife's brother. Sir Multon Lambard, Knt,, and my father and

mother, and my brother Peter's wife. He was named Lombard
after Sir Multon's sirname. Memt*™. That my son was nurs'd
by Mr. Boteler's son's wife, in the Camber Castle.
On Sunday the 30th of Aprill, 1609, I was made a freeman of
Winchellsea, no one man giving liis voice against me. And on
Tuesday after, I was (together with Mr. Thomas Greene) imploy'd
by the corporation, who allowed us 5.s. a peese per diem to goe
to London, to our Lord Warden, to deliver a pettision from
them, and to make intersession for them in their disobeying of
the Lords of the Councell lately concerning the ellection of theire
Mayor; at which time we brought down from my lord the orders
of succession in that office. And at the next assembly, being the
ninth of May, 1609, according to those orders, I was swoine a
Jurat, William Bishop being Mayor; in which orders it was
commanded, that, notwithstanding though Mr. Farmer and Mr
Cooper had been long on the bench, yett Mi'. Greene and my-
selfe were to take the place of them, and to be mayors in suc-
cession before them; and then likewise was it decided that thoe
Mr. Eglistone had been a Jurat formerly, yett he was to come
after Mr. Boteler, who was elected together with him, the second
time, that he was called and sworne before him, for it was
decreed by the Lords of the Councell, that Eglistone cou'd have
no relation to his being a Jurat formerly, in respect that he
waved the bench voluntary.
The 16th of June, 1609, being one of the auditors, who for
that purpose were chosen at an assembly before wee took the
accompts of the old, the chamberlanes who were in tiie year that
Mr. White was mayor; viz. William Rayman and Abedingo
Standen, at the house of Tliomas Cobb, at the sign of the Square,
whose receipts for that year upon true account came to303Z. 18*.

that they received in allowances, for the rest was 99/. 4<s.2d. ob. q.
At the Brotherhood held this year at Romney, Mr. White
was fined 10/. for returning of Mr. Cooper a Jurat into the
king's when he was mayor, and for other speeches
which he had used against the brotherhood.
In the town of Winchellsea, within the walls, there have been
three churches : viz. St. Tliomas, now standing, and St. Giles's,
ruinous, within the liberties, and St. Leonard's extra libertates.
The town seal is to scale on both sides ; of one side is carved

and the circumscription, " Sigilluni Baronum, &c." but on the
other is carved two churches joyned togeather, with certaine

My father sent three of us his sons successively to St. John's in
Cambridge, where we were all of us fellow-commoners. We gave
a white silver pott to the colledge, of about a 12 pound price.
Our arms engraved upon it, with this aenigma: " Petrus, Tho-
mas, et Richardus Godfrey hujus Collegii Alumni, oriundi de
Lidd in agro Cantiano, quorum Pater est Tho. Godfrey armi-
ger, cui horum alter-uter est primo-genitus." ^
I came from Mr. Boteler's to housekeeping, in a house that
I took of Mr. Raynolds in Winchellsea, who had it in right of
his wife, who was Mr. Thomas Egliston's widdow, the 29th of
January, 1609.
There was returned to the Brotherhood and Gueslinff holden
at New Romney the 24th July, 1610, from Winchelsea, Mr.
Robert Boteler, gent, mayor of the town, Mr. John Egliston,
gent., myself, and Mr. Francis Whitton, gent. Jurats of the
same town; Thomas Isted, gent, common clerk; William Wy-
mond, chamberlain, Abedingo Standen, freemen.
Memd™. That the of Aprill, 1610, I being the mayor's
deputy, George Brookes was disfranchised by a generall con-
sent, for many matters alledged openly against him in court.
I was chosen to be one of the auditors for the chamberlains'
accompts in anno 1610, which was deferred till the 3rd of Au-
gust, by reason of some differences which till then were not
decided. We kept it at Mr, Standing at the King's Arms.

454 THE DOMESTIC CHRONICLE
My second child, [^Thojyias,] being a son also, was borne the 4th
of October, being Thursday, in anno 1610, between the hours of
one and two in the night, and was christened the 10th of the same
month. His godfathers were Mr. John Egliston, gent, one of
the Jurats of the town, and Mr. Thomas Isted, gent, common
clerk of the same town, who gave him his name ; his godmothers,
Mrs. Mary Clynton, one of the daughters of Sir Thomas Clyn-
ton, second son to the Erie of Lincohie, that was Lord Admirall;
his other godmother was my sister Elizabeth.
This son departed this life the 8th of December following,

Thomas, at the upper end of the isle, just under the great win-
dow of the east end.
My most loving wife, Margaret Lambard, departed this life
in a most comfortable manner; her last words being these, (viz.)
" My soul is in heaven with the angells : " and soe most
patiently gave up the ghost between 2-3 or 3-4 of the clock
in the morning, on a Saturday, being St. Peter's day, the 29th
of June, 1611, after that we have been married three years and
almost two months, and was buried close to her son Thomas, the
4th of July, in the south isle of the church of St. Thomas in
Winchellsea, under the great window of the east end of the isle.
I was married to Sarah, ray second wife, at Brandford, in
Middlesex, on Thursday, 28th May, 1612; my said Sarah was
the second daiighter of Thomas Isles of London, gent, who was
some time one of the Procurators of the Arches, the which
Thomas was borne at Leeds, in Yorkshire.
I had taken a house at Canterbury, without St. George his
gate, whither my first wife and I intended to have removed
from Winchelsea; but, all things being ready for our departure,
it pleased God to take my said wife away ; so that I put that
house away. 1 took a house at Hailing, in Kent, of one Leonard
Booker; the house stands just against the comeing in from the
ferry. 1 came with my second wife to dwell at this house
16th of October 1612.
My wife was delivered of two sons at one birth the 23rd of
July, 1613, about 6 of the clock in the afternoone ; they came

London, after she had miscarried, and Ijy the midwife's opinion
would have had two chikh'en had she gone her full time.
William Biiig, captain of Deal Castle (who was also formerly
my bedfellow in my Lord Privy Seal's house) and myself, was
chosen Burgess by the town of Winchellsea, for the Parliament

Jacobus. The which Parliament was desolved, and nothing done,
and concluded to be no sessions, 7° Junii following.
My honourable good lord and master, the Erie of Northamp-
ton, died at his house at Charing Cross, 15° Junii, 1614, and
was buried in the south isle of Dover Castle chappell, the 26th
of the same month.
I came to keep house in Grub Street, in the parish of St.
Giles's without Criplegate, 11th July, 1614, after I had so-
journed about a yeare with my brother Augustin Rowe one of
the Proctors of the Arches, dwelling at the Sugar-loafe in Pater-
noster Howe in London.
Item. My wife had another mischance of a son at Hammer-
smith, at her father's house, 13th October, 1614; the child was

ham churchyard, in the county of Middlesex.
My wife was delivered of a girle, at my house in Grub

named Jane. My gossips were, Mrs. Jane Hallsye, wife to Mr.
John Halisye, one of the citty captains, and my sister Howlt
and Sir Multon Lambard, who sent Mr. Michael Lee for his
deputy ; my brother, Thomas Isles, afterwards bestowed a chris-
tening sermon on ns.
The 15" March, being Friday, 1615, myselfe and my brother
Richard, my cousin William Epps, and Adiian Reade (to whom
I lent 22 pounds, and my brother Dicke 11 pound to put forth,

My wife was brought to bedd of a son 26" Oct. 1616, beino-

His godfathers were mine own father and my father lies; both

had purchased but the Michaelmas term before, of William

licence from the commissioners for the passage at that place, and
so landed at Callais. From whence by waggon we went to St.

Wilsborough, one of the marshalls of his Majesties Halls in ordi-
nary, sworne captain of Sangate Castle ; and his godmother was

Mv sister Mary, being then the only daughter that my father

1619, in St. Michaell's at the Querne, at the upper end of
Cheapside, in London, unto Sir John Honeywood, Knt. son
and heir to Sir Thomas Honeywood, of Elmstead in Kent, Knt.
My father gave her for her porcion 2000 pounds, and to him a

of our travell thither, our stay there, her apparrell, and our re-
turne, stood my father in some 300 pounds more. The wedding

My wife was dehvered of another son the 23° Decemb. 1621,
between 3 and 4 of the clock in the morning, being Sunday;
who was christened the 13° January, being Sunday. His god-

Elizabeth, at the font, and godfather to me at my bishoping, or
confirmacion, by the most reverend Archbishop John Whitgift,
when he was at Lidd, who lay at my uncle Johp Berries ; his

tian name.
My good father being much decayed in his memory, and in
his bodie, by reason of a great weakness in his knees, that he
could not goe, but was led between two, or carried ; gave over
all his doeings, and made over all his estate of goods by a deed
to my brother Peter, and a lease of his lands unto him, from the
feast of Midsummer 1623; reserving to himself for his mainte-
nance 400/. per ann. and 40 pounds per ann. to my mother, in
lieu of the profit which shee made of her dairie and sheepskins;
and soe left his house at Lidd to my said brother Peter, and
went to sojourne with my brother Richard at New Rumney.
My brother Peter made the like leases to myself and my bro-
ther Richard, of such estate as my father had formerly setded
upon us, either of us paying 100/. per ann. out of it towards my
father's maintainance.
My son Thomas departed this life the 1st of October, 1623,
being Wednesday, between 12 and 1 of the clock in the daytime,
and was buried in the chancell at Sellinge, before my pew. He
was troubled with a vomiting ever since he was 7 weeks old ; so
that he could neither keep his meat nor his drink for a week to-
geather ; he was the eldest and the least of five sons that I had
' Afterwards married to his daughter 13 Sept. 1630 (see p. 461.)

at home altogeather. Whilst he lived, he was but a liveing
corpse, and the poorest carcase that (I think) was ever seen, to
goe up and downe, as he did; that very morning that he died
he had a quicke eye, and a good spirit and mernorie ; apt to
learne, and would read very prettily.
My wife was brought to bedd of a daughter the 8th of De-
cember, 1623, being Munday, about 9 of the clock in the fore
noone; it was christened the 2\° day of the same month, being
Sunday, and St. Thomas his day, and named Elizabeth. The
godmothers were, my cousin Mr. John Knight's wife of Hith,
and my neighbour Mr. George Watle's wife; the godfather
was my neighbour Mr. Richard Watle, but he was in London,

My good father departed this life in a most patient and mild
manner, the 17° Feb. 1623, being Munday, between 2 and 3
of the clock in the morning ; he dyed at New Rumney at my

had been speechless all that day, only fetched his breath very
short, and when he died he did not so much as groane or
strech, but put downe his eyes himself; and so his breath went out
of his body without so much as stirring the candle which stood
in the candlestick upon his bed. He was brought from thence,
and buried at Lidd, in the chancel, the 24° of February.

grandchildren were togeather, and Mr. Cothwold and his wife,
and his son-in-law Mr. Courlin and his wife, and Mr. Francis
Hammon, and Mr. Hidger the minister of the parish and his
wife.
My son Michaell, after he had served eight years' apprentiship
with Major Thomas Chambei'laine, of Leadenhall Street, mer-
chant, who married the daughter of Mr. Michael Burlimarsh,
was 8 years at Morlaix and in Roan, as a factor, and after he
I'eturned into England, and had been just 8 weeks in London,
was married to Mrs. Ann Mary Chamberlaine, his master's
eldest daughter, first in the house by Mr. Oldman, at his minster
in the pew.h and then at St. Deonis Backchurch in Lime Street,
by Mr. Hardes, that learned reverend minister, on Thursday
the last of January 1655, and was that day and the next enter-
tained at the Major's house.
To Thomas Godfrey, the writer of this family history, the following
epitaph was placed in the church of Sellinge :
" Here lies the body of Thomas Godfrey, of Hoddiford, in this
parish, Esq. who had to his first wife, Margaret the daughter of William
Lambard of Grenwich, Esquire, by whom he had issue two sonns ; and
to his second wife, Sarah the daughter of Thomas Isles, of Hammer-
smith, Esquire, with whom he lived in wedlock above 33 years, and by
her had issue 12 sonnes and 4 daughters. He was a great lover of
learning and all ingenuity, which he shewed in the generous education
of his children. He served his generation eminently and faithfully in
several capacities ; with christian courage he overcame many infirmities
of his life. Having lived beloved 47 years in this parish, he died
lamented the 10th day of October, 1664, being in the 79th year of his
age, to whose memory his sorrowful widow erected this monument of her
lasting affection."
His four daughters were all married, as already noticed.
Of his sons, Benjamin, the youngest, was the only survivor in 1696;
when he repaired the monument in Westminster cloisters, and added the
supplementary tablet to commemorate his brother Sir Edmund-Berry
(as printed in p. 464). He died in 1704, aged 72 ; having, by marriage
with Mary, daughter and heir of Baptist Piggot esquire, become pos-
sessed of Norton Court in Kent; and was succeeded by his son John,

other words.

who died in 1737 without issue. Catharine his sister was the wife of
Stephen Lushington esquire, of Sittingbourne, and mother of Thomas
Godfrey Lushington esquire, from whom descends that numerous and
very distinguished family, which quarters the arms of Godfrey.
There were two other brothers who married, namely Peter, (see p.
464,) who remained at Hoddiford, and Michael, (see p. 465,) a mer-
chant in London, buried in the church of St. Swithin, Coleman Street.
The issue of the former are given in Berry's Kentish Genealogies ; and
some notices of the latter (whose descendants were very distinguished
citizens,) accompany an article on Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey in the
Gentleman's Magazine for November 1848. See also the Magazine for
1793, vol. LXiii. p. 32.

the writer in the year 1609, and afterwards several pages of expenses
about the same time. Between them occurs a page containing —

Hon. J. G. Preston — Of this gentleman the following notice has

the house of the country of the Franc of Bruges, great difficulties arose
between two Burgomasters of this magistracy, Preston and Urribari,*
concerning some ordinances which had been executed. The affair was
upon the point of passing to the sword, but it was revoked, and the
parties having been put in a state of arrest, were excluded the Col-
lege by virtue of a judgment — Preston for six months, and Urribari for
three months. The condemned appealed to the Council of Flanders on
this arrest, and were by decision of the council reinstated in their places.
The magistracy however refused to respect this judgment, and to do them
justice, so long as the first judgment had not been carried out, although
they were constrained to do so under a penalty of 200 florins each. The
cause was next presented atMalines,when judgment was pronounced that
the college, put in arrest by theProcureur-general, should be set at liberty,
when the Burgomasters took upon them again their functions, and the
several parties pursued their cause before the secret council."

OLD CHURCH OF ST. WALBURGE. h
In the chapel of our Lady against the north wall was a tomb
of touch-stone, which we will describe from the drawing. On
each side was a doric column, supporting an ornamented enta-
blature inscribed with the date 1602. Above the entablature
was a repetition of this arrangement in smaller dimension,
finished with a scroll pediment. Between the columns of this
last division was a quarterly shield with helmet, mantling, crest
— a greyhound's head affronte, — and collar of the order of St.
Andrew ; and between the principal columns, within an arched
recess, was an inscription tablet with plain pediment, the latter
ornamented with an impaled lozenge-shaped shield. On either
side of the tablet were eight shields, two and two, whilst a plain

basement flanked by the pedestals of the before mentioned
principal columns carried the tomb down to the ground.
The compiler of the MS. has informed us that the first eight
of the sixteen shields were surmounted by coronets, but that the
blazons of all were effaced. His artist, however, has supplied
the loss of heraldry by creations of his own fancy. The arms of
Forret, which should fill the superior shield, and also the first
shield on the right side of the tomb, and of Despars, which should
be impaled with the same in the lozenge, are as here described :
Forret, Quarterly, 1 and 4, Or, a chevron gules, in chief a boar's
head ccuped sable; 2 and 3, Argent, six billets, three, two, and
one, sable. Despars, Quarterly, 1 and 4, Bendy of six or and
azure, within a bordure compony argent and gules ; 2 and 3,
Ermine, on a bend gules three annulets or. The first shield on
the left side of the tomb, commencing the maternal blazonry,
was, with little doubt, that of Cunningham, Argent, a shake-fork
sable. ^
The following was the epitaph on the tomb :
" Cy gist noble homme Guilliaume Forret, natif d'Escosse,
Chevallier de I'ordre de St. Andrieu du royaume d'Escosse, en
son vivant Capitaine de 150 lances au service de leurs Altisses

him almost an European reputation. We may avail ourselves of this note to men-
tion, that the English fathers of the order of Jesus came first to Bruges in 1762,
on their expulsion from St. Omer ; that their primary residence in the town was the
house numbered D. 15.9, Place du Vendredi (now Place de la Station), which, with
the land belonging thereto, they purchased with the intention of erecting on the
spot an extensive college after the designs of Paul de Cock, painter, and professor of
the Academy of Bruges, whose drawings are still preserved in the Academy ; and that
they then, having purchased another site, — that of the building which they had not
time to complete, — removed themselves to the house of Seven Towers, in the rue
Haute (depicted in Fland. lUus. and now existing with a modern face, &c.) where
they were residing at the time of their expulsion from Bruges in 1773.

CONVENT OF ST. ELIZABETH.
The convent of St. Elizabeth, English nuns of the third order
of St. Francis, was established at Bruges in 1662, at the particu-
lar instance of the Hon. Henry Howard, afterwards sixth Duke
of Norfolk, in the principal part of the more modern of the two
palaces of the sovereign counts of Flanders, called the " Princen-
hof," to the purchase of which, in the spring of the year above-
named, he was a large contributor; and here the ladies continued
to reside till the 15th June, 1794, when, being so compelled by
the French revolutionists, they quitted it for their native coun-
try, where, at Taunton in Somersetshire, they have finally settled
themselves. The church of the Princenhof, built after the de-
sign of the engineer Henry de la Porte, and under the superin-
tendence of M. Marc Albert d'Ognate, — the personal friend both
of Charles H.and of the nobleman above mentioned, and like the
latter a considerable benefactor of the convent, — was consecrated
on Sunday the 18th May 1664, n.s. under the title of our blessed
Lady of Dolours. A geometrical drawing of its west elevation is
to be found in Sepultur der stad Brugge, iv. f. 95, but nothing
now remains of the church, and but little of the convent. Of the
latter building, the west wall of certain vaulted chambers, pierced
with four windows whose stone architraves are now embedded in
the brick-work, serves as part of the east boundary of the Cour
du Prince. Above that portion of the wall which contains the
two most southern of the windows rose the elevation of the
church spoken of. The architraves of the gate through which
the public approached from the Cour du Prince the high flight
of steps leading to the south entrance of the church can also
be traced in the wall, and the small old-fashioned house adjoin-
ing it, now untenanted, was the property of the nuns ; and in all
probability the " small house adjoining " built and occupied by
the Duke of Norfolk, and which on his accession to the duke-
dom and removal from Bruges he gave " in full possession ^' to
the convent. Besides these remains, and the school-house built
in 1778, lately in the occupation of an English shopkeeper, but
now the private house D. 2. 30.20 rue Nord du Sablon, we have
found against the wall of the convent garden several of " the
steps" to the Calvary (viz. the 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 16, 17, and 18),
which has long since been removed. On seven of " the steps,"
OF THE ENGLISH AT BRUGES. 4/9
it may be mentioned, the devotee is required to pray " for S^i B.
F." whilst the remaining one asks this service " for S<^> T. M.
M. L." n
On the east wall of the church of this convent, by the altar,
was a circular-headed niche of white marble, containing a por-
phyry urn, and, as the drawing shews, an oval shield, placed at
the back of the recess and immediately above the urn, of the
arms of Howard, Gules, on a bend between six crosslets fitchee
argent, an escutcheon or charged with a demi-lion rampant
pierced through the mouth by an arrow within a double tressure
flory counterflory of the first ; impaling Bickerton, Argent, an
eagle displayed gules, beaked and membered sable. Below the
niche was an inscription slab narrowed towards the bottom, and on
this, according to the MS. were the two following inscriptions :
" Cor illustrissimi principis Henrici ducis Norfolci et comitis
marescalli Anglise, comitis Arundelise, Surregioe, Norfolciae, et
Norwici, baronis Howard, Moubray, Segrave, Brews de Gower,

slab of black marble. In the recess, as we learn from the draw-
ing, was a sarcophagus on lion's feet, having seated on it at
either end a boy, the one holding a torch, the other a skull. On
the side of the sarcophagus, in an oval shield surmounted by a
coronet, were the arms of Roper, before described, impaling
Barry of six gules and argent, on a chief or a lion passant azure,
Englefield, and above it a small tablet in the form of a heart.
The following was the inscription on this monument :
" Hoc marmor scrinium est, in quo illustrissima D. Maria

" Heec Domina orta fuit ex antiqua familia de Englefield."
On the same wall, and near the last mentioned, was a square-
headed niche of white marble arched in the centre. Below the
recess, the drawing shews a semicircular inscription slab, the
circular part downwards ; and surmounting the arch, in a lozenge,
were the arms of Waldegrave, Per pale argent and gules, im-
paling Englefield. In the recess was a sarcophagus supported
by cornucopia feet, and upon this, resting upon a cushion, was
a napkin and skull. Above and at the sides of the niche were a
profusion of sculptured fruits and flowers.
The inscription was as under :
" Hie jacet cor illustrissimse Dominae Helenae Waldegrave, s

CONVENT OF NAZARETH.
The English nuns of this convent, canonesses regular of the
order of St. Augustin, came here from Louvain in 1629. In
their original church, demolished in 1736, were placed the un-
der-mentioned epitaphs. They were not, for reasons now un-
known, reinstated in the present very beautiful edifice, built
under the auspices of the Lady Lucy Herbert, at the time supe-
rior, and consecrated 7 April 1739. For an account of this
religious establishment, furnished, we believe, to the author by
that real philanthropist, the Abbe de Foere, member of the
chamber of representatives, and since 1823 the spiritual director

*• If we are to uaderstand that this mencorial was placed in the church by order
of John Morton, Master of the Rolls, who died Archbishop of Canterbury and
Cardinal of St. Anastasia, it must have been so placed after 1473, when he received
the appointment of Master of the Rolls, and before 1478, when he became Bishop
of Ely. A note, in Flemish, attached to the transcript of the epitaph, sets out
a tradition that sister Catherine was daughter to a king of England ! — that she had
lived in the hospital unknown, the first who enjoyed the foundation — and that it
was not ascertained till after her death who she was.

In the choir, on the north side of the high altar, was a superb
mausoleum in marble of various colours, which may be thus de-
scribed, from the drawing : Two Doric columns support an enta-
blature, above which is a circular-headed tablet ornamented with
the arms, crest, helmet and mantling of the deceased. On either
side of this tablet, but apart from it, sits a winged boy, the
one holding a skull, the other an hour-glass. Without the co-
lumns, on each side, are eight shields of arms in double row,
and below a basement reaching to the ground, the centre part of
which, slightly projecting, is ornamented with the arms of the
deceased impaling those of his v/ife. The inscription is placed
between the columns.

CHURCH OF THE CONVENT OF CAPUCHIN MONKS.
There was formerly in this convent a monument or gravestone
sent to replace a former slab, which, much defaced, is yet to be
found in the floor of the church, below the second window on
the right side. The following is the epitaph which was engraved
upon it:
" P. M. S.
"Hie jacetDominus Edwardus Widrington," eques Baronet-
tus Anglus, ex illustri familia nobill' dominorum Baronum de
Widrington, qui uxorem duxit Christianam Stuartam neptem
Coniitis de Bothwell ex prosapia Jacobi quinti regis Scotiae,

Earl of Arundel, and brother to Thomas and Henry Dukes of Norfolk. He
was a Dominican, made a Cardinal in 1675, and died at Rome 16 June 1694. The
suppressed convent of his order at Bornheim, near Antwerp, was chiefly founded
by him.
» Sir Edward Widrington, of Cartington, co. Northumberland, a Baronet of N.S.

CHURCH OF THE CONVENT OF CARMELITE MONKS. '^
At the south side of the high altar was a white marble tomb,
thus in the drawing figured : On a sarcophagus, supported by
two winged boys, and kneeling upon one knee, is the recumbent
effigy of a man habited in a Roman dress, with his left arm rest-
ing upon a cushion, and his right hand placed upon his heart.
At each end of the sarcophagus, kneeling upon pedestals orna-
mented with bas-reliefs of warlike trophies, are females, and be-
tween these pedestals is a basement divided into three parts, of
which the centre and largest division contained, in all probability,
the epitaph ; the others are ornamented similarly to the pedestals
before mentioned. The back of the monument rises very high
and terminates in a circular-headed pediment, the entablature of
which receives its support from two Corinthian columns. Above
the pediment, in the centre, is a standard of Roman arms, de-
fensive and offensive ; and on each side of this, on separate
pedestals, are funeral urns. At the back of the tomb is, in re-
lief, the arms, crest, supporters, motto, (all hereunder described, )
coronet, helmet, and mantling of the deceased, the whole shadowed
by a canopy ; and under these achievements, in a circular-headed
recess, is an urn, containing, we may suppose, his heart.
The arms in the shield are, Sable, a crescent between two
mullets in pale argent, with a crescent in dexter chief point for
difference ; impaling Or, a lion rampant sable. Foley.
Crest : A talbot dog passant argent. Supporters : Two talbot
dogs argent.
Motto : " Nee ab oriente, nee ab occidente."
cis Earl of Bothwell (so created 29 July 1587, and attainted 12 July 1592 — the son
of John Stewart, Prior of Coldinghame, natural son of James V. King of Scotland),

Stewart, Commendator of Coldinghame, whose eldest daughter married Sir John
Home of Renton.See Douglas's Peerage of Scotland by Wood, vol. i. pp. 331 — 3.

Monument, Against the north wall of the chancel, a hand-
some monument of white marble, for the Rev. George Turner,
32 years Rector of this parish, and 37 Rector of Monewden, an
adjoining parish; born Apr. 14, 1767, died 9 Nov. 1839: and
Ehzabeth, his wife, born 7 Sept. 1758, died 2 Dec. 1823. They

Letheringham. Brasses. 1. A figure, 5 ft. 1 inc. high, of a
man in plate armour, chain gorget and shirt, basinet pointed,
his feet on a lion; on his breast the arms ofWingfield. This
was probably intended for Sir John Wingfield, who died in
1389. This brass, having been for nearly thirty years in the
possession of the late Rev. Richard Turner of Yarmouth, has
since his death, through the means of Mr. Dawson Turner
and the Marquess of Northampton, been restored to the church,
and is now fastened against the south wall, though the stone still
remains from whence it was removed. (Cotman's Brasses, No. v.)
This church was formerly very rich in brasses, but they
have all been lost except the above : this was in consequence
of the chancel being allowed to become dilapidated, when idle
people tore them from their places, and carried them away.
A plate of brass, which was formerly in this church, was in
1831 in the possession of the Rev. N. T. O. Leman, of Bramp-
ton. It only contains an inscription in capitals, for Anne Naun-
ton, wife of Wm. Naunton, Esq. who deceased the 30th of Oct.
1628; with four Latin and eight English verses, composed by
Sir Robert Naunton, to his beloved sister.
Of the numerous stately and costly monuments which adorned
the chancel, some fragments only still remain in the church ;
other fragments are still to be found in the garden behind the
priory or abbey; and others also in the garden of the vicarage at
Brandeston, collected and built up in a pyramid by the late Rev.
Wm. Clubbe, the Vicar. The fragments still remaining in the
church are as follow :
Monuments. 1. On the north wall, on an oblong square of
HUNDRED OF LOES, SUFFOLK. 501
black marble, an inscription for " Sir Anthony Wingfiekl, Knt.
grandchild of Sir Anthony Wingfiekl, Knt. whoe in y^ dayes of
King Hen. 8. was made Knight of the Garter, &c. &c. He died
29 Dec. 1605."
2. Another tablet of black marble, for " Sir Thomas Wing-
field, late of Letherini>ham, Knt. son of Sir liobert Wingfield,
Knt. who died 22 Jan, (1609), being High Sheriffe of this
county."
Just above this is a very large shield, containing Naunton of
thirty-two coats impaling Perrott of twenty-five coats.
3. Against the east wall is a small slab of stone, broken, for
" Sir Robert Naunton, Knt. sometime principal Secretarie, and
afterwards Master of the Wards, and Counsellor of State to
King James and King Charles." The rest of this is behind the
abbey ; an inscription, which was on brass, is now preserved by
Messrs. Nichols, at Parliament Street, Westminster, and printed
impressions may be seen in Nichols's Leicestershire.
4. Against the south wall, a slab of black marble, for " James
Naunton, Esq. Sonne of Sir Robert Naunton, Knt. (Principal
Secretary of State and Master of the Wards to King James), and
Dame Penelope his wife, daughter and sole heir of Sir Thos.
Perrott, Knt. He lived 2 yeares and 2 moneths, and deceased
12 of March 1621-." Then follow sixteen verses in English.
The figure formerly on this monument now lies in the garden
behind the abbey.
5. At the east end, a tablet of white marble, " To the memory
of Martha North, 4th daughter of Henry North, gent, and Eli-
zabeth Wingfiekl his wife. She died 1717, aged 59."
6. At the back of the abbey, fixed in the wall, is a slab of
black stone, for Dame Penelope, Sir Robert Naunton's wife, sole
daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Perrott, knt. See No. 3, above.
7. In the garden are two figures in stone kneeling; the one
of a man in a ruff, pointed beard, hands broken off, which were
probably clasped and raised before him ; the other of a woman,
her hands also gone : a veil is on her head, and falls on each
side ; the figures are about two feet and a half high.
Two or three other slabs remain in the garden, but whether
they formed part of monuments or were slabs in the floor, is
not clear.
Marlesford. Monuments. 1. Against the north wall of the
chancel, mural, of marble, consisting of two oval niches, encircled
502 CATALOGUE OF SEPULCHRAL MONUMENTS, &C.

born 27 Feb. 1796, and fell in battle on the 18th June, 1815, at
Waterloo : he was buried on the spot.
MoNEWDEN. Brasses. 1. At the east end of the chancel, a
large brass plate is fixed in the wall, having over it the figure of
a man kneeling at a desk, upon which lies an open book, with a
label issuing from his mouth, on which is written, " Caro est
foenum.^' — " Here lyeth buryed the body of Thomas Reve, y^

issue, by Rose his wife, ten sons and five daughters. On the
other plate four lines.

or inscription, and no appearance of there ever having been any.
HUNDRED OF LOES, SUFFOLK. 503
Tliis was the monument, in all probability, of one of the earlier
rectors of the parish. John Caperon, or Capron, was instituted
to this rectory 22 April, 1 349, and by his will, dated on the feast
of St. Mary Magdalen 1375, he bequeaths his body to be
buried in the chancel here, before the image of St. Gregory. It
was for this rector that the above monument was in all pro-
bability erected. The figure was originally painted and gilt, but
has been lately covered over with a coat of stone-coloured paint.
2. On the same wall, a small monument of stone, for Simon
Mawe and Margery his wife, by whom he had five sons and six
daughters. He was born at Epworth in Lincolnshire, brought
up in Suffolk, bore the office of Steward of the Liberty of St.
Etheldred 33 years, lived 79 years, and died 5 Nov. 1610.
3. On the same wall is a masrnificent monument of marble.
The base rests on the floor, from which it rises about four
feet; this is partly of white and partly of dove-coloured marble;
on a white tablet on the front is an inscription for Mary
Andalusia, Baroness Rendlesham, wife of John Baron Ren-
dlesham; born 15 March, 1791; died 15 Aug. 1814, Upon
this base, which projects about a foot, are two emblematical
figures, in statuary marble; that on the left, representing Faith,
is kneeling on one knee, her arms clasped before her and
holding and pressing to her breast a cross with a long slaff,
which rests on the part upon which she kneels ; she is looking
up towards the figure on the pyramid; the figure on the right
hand, intended for Pity, is likewise kneeling, and hiding her face
with her left hand; between them, on a cushion, lies a Baron's
coronet in white marble ; between these figures, are thi*ee four-
line stanzas. Over this rises a large and lofty pyramid of dove-
coloured marble, on which, in alto relievo, is the figure of a
female, supported by an angel, ascending to heaven ; at the top
of the pyramid a crown. The whole height of the monument is
13 feet, its width 7i. Flaxman was the sculptor, who is said to
have executed the figure of Pity with his own hand : this is much
superior to the other. The cost £600.
4. Against the south wall of the chancel, a small mural tablet
of white marble, in memory of Caroline Anna Maria Frederica,
dau. of Arthur and Caroline Thellusson, born 6 Dec. 1827 : died

5. In the south aisle, at the east end, a large and lofty monu-

taining figures. In the upper one, a man is kneeling on a blue
cushion, looking to the front, in a gown and large ruff, with
mustaches, and a tuft of hair on his chin ; the figure nearly
of the natural size. Over his head, on the pediment, are the
arms of Pitman, Gules, two poleaxes in saltire between four
mullets or. Below this figure, in a large square niche, are the
figures of two women kneeling, opposite to each other; their
hands, which were probably raised, are broken off"; the dresses
nearly alike, ruffs, with a veil fixed to the top of the head and
falling down their backs ; between them is a faldstool ; on a
small square tablet between them, in capital gold letters, six
verses: below this niche are two tablets of black, the right hand
one a blank, the other with six verses to the first wife. The
lower niche, which is a double one, with circular arches, contains
two male figures; that on the left, in a gown, having the sleeves
HUNDRED OF LOES, SUFFOLK. 505
and lower pai't embroidered : he is kneeling on a crimson
cushion, his hands togedier and raised, mustaches and ruft': the
one of the right hand is younger and smaller ; he has, however,
mustaches, a ruff, and a short cloak ; he is also kneeling on a
crimson cushion. These two figures face each other, and between
them is a faldstool, covered with a blue cloth, with a gold fringe.
Below are three tablets : 1 . For Jeffrey Pitman, Esq. and some-
time High Sheriffe of Suffolk, who died 21 May, 1627, £etat.67;
he had two wives, Alice and Anne. Alice died 29 Aug. 1613,

Inn, and died 9 Feb. 1626, eet. 24. Anne his second wife, liv-
ing, and also his two daughters Mary and Avise. On the tablet
on the left hand, six verses for V\'illiam the eldest son, and on
the right hand, four to the younger son. On the sides of the
niches, all down the monument, are wreaths of flowers and fruit,
and in the arches and sides of them roses. The whole monu-
ment, including the figures, is handsomely painted and gilt, and,
excepting a trifling accident or two which have befallen the
figures, is in a good state of repair.
Hawes, in his MS. History of the Hundred of Loes, says that
Jeffrey Pitman was originally a tanner in the town of Woodbridf^e.
6. On the south wall, a plain square tablet of white marble,
for Mary Leventhorp, who died 31 Oct. 1819, aged 30, dauirh-

PEDIGREE OF PYCHEFORD.
Pycheford (now Pitchford) in Shropshire, which gave name
to this family, was itself so named from a well there, the surface
of which is frequently covered with the oily substance called
petroleum, and at a very early period was one of the possessions
of the " de Pychefords." The family was founded by Ranulph
de Pycheford, who, as Camden says, was for his valiant conduct
at Bridgenorth Castle temp. Hen. I. enfeoffed by that king of
Littlebrug, co. Salop, to be held by the tenure of finding dry
wood {i. e. fuel) for the chamber in the castle when the king
came thither; and, in consequence of this service, the funda-
mental bearing of the early de Pychefords seems clearly to
have been adopted; it being " a blue lion passant, on a
o-olden field." This was borne on a chief by Englefield,
who married one of their heiresses; and the Surrey Pyche-
fords, who branched from the Shropshire stock temp. Hen. IH.
were evidently those of the name who placed the same charge,
in a fess, on a field chequy or and azure ; derived probably
from Warren. These early Pychefords were a distinguished
and knightly family, and of large landed possessions during
the two centuries immediately succeeding the exploit which
raised them, viz. from Henry the First's time ; and a branch
which had moved to Blimenhull, in the adjoining county of Staf-
ford, did not expire till the fifteenth century: but all trace of
their name disappears, at least in public records, about the
war of the roses; and if their blood was not lost during those
commotions, there can be little doubt their possessions were.
After the restoration of peace, and the settlement of the
kino-dom, a second family of the name appeared, resident at Lee
Brockhurst, in Shropshire, of which manor Sir John de Pyche-
ford, of the former race, had died seised in 13 Edw. I. (1284-5) ;
and hence owing at least their name to the original stock. This
second flimily, however, seem to have just emerged from yeomen,
when Robert Cooke, Clarenceux, who visited Shropshire in
1584, allowed them a coat of arms (totally different from the
previous family's) with a crest : — the former being "■ Azure, a
PEDIGREE OF PYCHEFORD. 507
cinquefoil between six martlets or; " the latter, " An ostrich ar-
gent, beaked and ducally gorged or." This house, first re-
corded as Pycheford, afterwards as Pichford, and finally Pitch-
ford, like most yeoman families kept its chiefs on its lands
(the Lee Brockhurst estate), and sent its younger sons into the
trades of London. One of these, a grocer of James the First's
reign, having retired to St. Alban's in Hertfordshire, entered
a short pedigree of the family in the Visitation of that county
1634, together with the arms and crest allowed by Cooke, and
an abstract of one of the early Ranulph de Pycheford's deeds;
from which family the new stock had now claimed descent.
From the will of William Pycheford or Pitchford, of London,
haberdasher, nephew of the said grocer, and both connected
with St. Mary's Colechurch parish, (in which will, proved
1659-60, he mentions to have been born and baptized at Lee,
CO. Salop, and leaves to that church,) it would seem that several
of the family held commissions in the parliamentary army — not
uncommon in families recorded as yeomen under James and
Elizabeth. The name of Pitchford is still existing in the neiffh-
bourhood of Lee, but its fortunes scarcely survived the usual
period of rise, zenith, and fall. Its last match with a family of
consequence seems to have been that with Gatacre, recorded in
Burke's Commoners. The two pedigrees subjoined are, respec-
tively, a collection and arrangement of the records respecting
the former house, and an elaboration of the visitation entry of
the latter ; in which last table the matter contained in the Visi-
tation is printed in Italics, to distinguish it from the additional
details.

PEDIGREE OF PITCHFORD. 511
The parish registry of Lee Brockhurst shows the family to
have been very much more numerous than the contents of the
preceding table, though without in the least interfering with it;
which, so far as it goes, is fixed and certain, and embraces all
the family's principal matches. All these, excepting that with
Crofte, are acknowledged in the current pedigrees of the families
matched with ; and probably the omission in the Baronet
Crofts (for Robert Crofte was doubtless of the Croft Castle
family) is referable only to deficiency of information,
I have not here quartered the lion coat of the early Pychefords
with the cinquefoil and martlets of the second race; but I think
most genealogists of experienced judgment would consider
the circumstances of property and location a sufficient evidence
of the right; to say nothing of the claim of descent made in 1634.
Lee register shows that the second family must have been a
considerable time resident in the parish prior to the commence-
ment of this pedigree. So early as 1581, "John Pycheford was
married there to Katherine Pycheford : " who could, therefore,
scarcely descend more nearly than from a common grandfather.
The same rules of proof seldom apply to two cases of this descrip-
tion ; but at the period in question, and under the circumstances
of this case, the identity of derivation or name-origin (if not the
successionary descent) is unquestionable; though the connecting
links may be irrecoverable.

THE MANOR OF BAMPTON, CO. OXFORD, AND FAMILY OF HORDE.
The following deeds illustrative of the descent of the manor
of Banipton, in the county of Oxford, are additional to many
recoi'ds of a similar nature published by Dr. Giles in his History
of that manor and parish, 8vo. 1849; to which are subjoined a
few further notices and corrections to the pedigree of the family
of Horde, seated at Cotes, in Bampton, so fully given in the
Topographer and Genealogist, vol. I. pp. 33 — 42 ; derived from
the inspection of deeds and the memorandums of accounts, &c.
kept by Sir Thomas Hord, Knt. ; from which source many curi-
ous and interesting particulars have been printed in the Gentle-
man's Magazine for December 1849.

Alan Horde, citizen and merchant of London, who bought
the manor of Cote, in Bampton, in 1553, died in 1555. He left
the manor to his wife Dorothy for her life. It was surveyed for
her son Thomas in 1577. Thomas died unmarried, and the
manor appears to have reverted to his brother Alan of Hord
Park, father of Sir Thomas Hord, Knt. In 1652 Sir Thomas
Hord made over the manor of Aston to his son Thomas for his
life with reversion to his heirs, and the good knight then went
and lived at his manor of Shilton, Berks, ami died January 31,
1662-3.
Barbara, the tirst wile of Thomas Hord, Esq. and daughter of
Charles Trinder (not Frinder), gent, died August 12, 1671 (not

described of Lower Swell, co. Gloucester, in deeds of the 14th of

EXTRACTS FROM THE PARISH REGISTERS OF SAINT NICHOLAS,
DUBLIN.
Communicated by John D' Alton, Esq.
The church of St. Nicholas, styled " wiUiin the walls," to
distinguish it from a second, dedicated to the same saint, outside
this city, was considered the first parochial edifice of that class
erected in Dublin after the Reformation. In 1578 it underwent
some alterations, the south wall having been then re-edified (as
was, at the same time, the adjacent great wall of the Castle ditch)
at the expense of the corporation. In 1672, and subsequently,
valuations were made of its condition and income, which are
preserved in the State Paper room Council Office, in Ireland.
In 1707 the parishioners were enabled by Act of Parliament to
raise money for rebuilding it, and an engraving of its architec-
tural appearance in ] 786 is given in the Gentleman's Magazine
of that year, p. 397. An Ecclesiastical Report of 1807 stales
the parish to have " a church in good order," and the same
ST. NICHOLAS^ DUBLIN. .521
words of assurance are reiterated in a later of 1820. In 1835,
however, the incumbent and churchwardens memorialised the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Ireland to take down the whole
building, in consequence of the alarming projection of some of
its walls ; the request was at once acted upon, but without the
concurrence or sanction of the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's
cathedral, who were by ancient title rectors of the parish, and
they accordingly remonstrated, as that they " had heard with sur-
prise and indignation that the materials and furniture of the
church had been disposed of, the pews to the proprietor of a
common whiskey or public house, who has fitted np a tap-room
with them, where the numbers of the pews are still visible, and
that the communion-table, altar-piece, and windows have been
sold," as they add, with the too usual Irish aptitude for anti-
religious sarcasm, " for the use of the new Popish chapel of
Beldoyle in the County Dublin, whither they were removed in
triumph." The Commissioners, however, relied upon their acts,
having been induced by the application of the churchwardens
and incumbent, necessitated by the dilapidated state of the edi-
fice, and sanctioned by the assent of the Archbishop of Dublin.
They also represented that they had given previous notice of
their intentions, and that the old materials were, with the excep-
tion of the pulpit and communion-table (which had been depo-
sited with the verger of St. Patrick's), sold to defray, so far as
they might, the expense of taking down and removing the con-
demned works. (The whole correspondence on this subject may
be seen, published in the Parliamentary Papers for 1844, vol.
xliii. page 313, &c,) That task has been unflinchingly accom-
plished ; not a stone of the church remains ; but, as it Avas built
upon an eminence, and entered by a flight of steps from the
street below, the vaults yet appear raised above the level of that
street and roofed with flagging. All the memorials of the church
and graveyard have perished, with the exception of one mural
slab to a Mr. Edward Thorton, who had been buried in 1'762
in the chancel — even that graveyard has been robbed of its pro-
portions, and the foundations of houses, that now nai-row it
in, have been laid in human clay. The Registry is the only
relic that remains of the church, which Archbishop Comyn
granted by his foundation charter to the then collegiate establish-

ment of St. Patrick's, and which Pope Celestine the Third con-
firmed to that house in 1191.

The Registry Books of this parish are continued hence regu-
larly to the present day ; and, while the whole record various
other domestic entries regardinc: the families above noted, they
have entries of like value in relation to those of Adamson, Ashe,
Ashurst, Barnes, Bentley, Boland, Boulger, Boyd, Butler, Cal-
laghan, Coates, Cooke^ Crofts, Dobson, Donovan, Durden,

In makina: the above extracts I have selected those surnames
which connect with the past and present aristocracy of Dublin.
The parish of St. Nicholas Within was during the period very
densely and respectably inhabited ; the Tholsel and Courts were
within its ambit, and the residences of the three professions were
crowded through it. Many events of historic and domestic inte-
rest are therefore, as it may be concluded, linked in the details of
this Registry.

" Oh ! there are beams so purely bright
They seem not made for earth,
They shed the liquid glow of light
That speaks their heavenly birth,
Then sink again in ether blue,
Regain their native sphere^
And fade for ever from the view
Too bright to linger here.
Oh ! such wert thou we've just resigned
In brighter worlds to shine.
And tho' in tears we 're left behind
We dare not to repine,
For well alas ! we learn'd to love,
Too little leax-n'd to know
That one so form'd for worlds above
Would ne'er be left below."

P. 497. I am glad to find these imperfect Hustler generations have
provoked a good pedigree of the family in Ord's Cleveland and Burke's
Supplement to the Landed Gentry. The latter, however, is in fault
where it alters the former to agree with this, since this only professes
knowledge of the more ancient department. The errors in this
Hustler pedigree were entirely occasioned by a misstatement in Graves's
Cleveland, that Thomas Peirse, who took the name of Hustler, and suc-
ceeded to Acklam, was nephexo of Evereld Hustler ; which he styles
himself, I believe, in her monumental inscription. He was not nephew,
but great-nepheiv to that lady, as I now find, (and before suspected,
but was overruled by Graves and the monumental inscription), I knew
her successor was the Thomas Peirse who married Constance ,
she being his wife in 1782 ; and thus by Graves's error I was led to
make Constance one of the wives of Thomas Peirse the father, instead
of the only wife of Thomas Peirse the son. The general effect of the
said misstatement was corroborated by the testimony of an old land-agent,
who informed me that the present Thomas Hustler, Esq. was nephew of
the late gentleman of that name, and he a son of him who had three
wives. From the Peirses' original pedigree I could learn nothing
authentic : it stating the connexion between the families to consist in a
female Peirse marrying a male Hustler (the very reverse of the fact,
as I ascertained from the abstracts of title, &c.) ; and leaving the wife
of Thomas Peirse, who did marry Anne Hustler, utterly unrecorded.
It may be here further noted, that William Hustler, who married Grace
Saville, lived sometime at Lupset, and had a son named John, born
there 17 Sept. 1657, and baptized at Wakefield 19 September, but who
must have died young, being not named in Sir William's entail 1729.
Ryton and Scampton are both in Durham, not Yorkshire. — Constance,
wife of Thomas Hustler (^who ivas daughter of Lutton of Knapton),
was married 1766 at St. Martin's, Coney Street, York; and her will
proved there 1827.
P. 009.'"^ Burke has also published more elaborate pedigrees of Peirse
and Hammond since these were contributed. Of Peirse it may be no-
ticed, that Elizabeth Marwood was coheir to Sir Henry her father in
a peculiar jnanner. Her only brother, George Marwood, married a

them with the pedigree. Sir Charles Turner's other sister married Capt. Campbell.

coheir of Spencer of Yarnton, but died v. p. s. p. m., leaving however
a daughter, married to Turner of Kirkleatham, whose only surviving
child eloped with Straubenzee (see p. 507). Mrs. Turner succeeded to
her mother's estates, but the Marwoods being settled on her father's
sisters in default of his male issue, his sister, Mrs. Peirse, so became a

Pp. 531, et seq. Since the Bayley, Barry, Burren, and Hodilow
pedigree was recorded in the College of Arms, the writer has had access
to their family muniments, then in the custody of others, (See also notes
to Vol. H. pages GO — 5.)
If Doctor Bayley's position and property would not entitle him to the
insertion of his pedigree in his County History, it is supposed his being
a deputy-lieutenant would do so. He was born 1 6 July 1 762 ; educated
under the Rev. James Scroggs, of Alne, near Easingwold : studied me-
dicine under Mr. Richard Dighton of North Allerton, surgeon, and
was (after further medical studies in Edinburgh) admitted into that
profession, in which he practised a few years at Easingwold. In 1785
he married, having taken the name of Bayley that year, under the will
of his maternal uncle, to inherit the Bayleys' property at Easingwold ;
in 1788 returned to Edinburgh to study for his diploma; and 11th
April 1789 was admitted a Member of the Royal Medical Society of
Edinburgh. His degree of M,D. he took at Leyden University 22d
May 1789, with the idea of practising in the south ; but he soon after
settled at North Allerton, in consequence of his landed property in the
North Riding. He now became physician to the Duke and Duchess of
Leeds, the Earl of Darlington (afterwards late Duke of Cleveland), the
Countess of Antrim, and Sir Harry Vane-Tempest, of Wynyard and
Long Newton, the Monsons, Sir Charles Turner, Bart, of Kirkleatham,
and Henry Peirse, Esq. M.P. for North Allerton, &c. He was also
partner with Warcop Consett, Esq. of Brawith, in the North Allerton
bank, and 7 June 1803 was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant for the
North Riding by the late Duke of Leeds. He died a^tat. just "upon

51, 11th June 1813, when his professional talents, remarkable for an
acute perception and nice discrimination, were loudly extolled in the local
newspapers : he was undoubtedly the most eminent physician of his day
between York and Durham. His mortal remains were deposited beside
his first wife's in North AUerton chancel.
Dr. Bayley and his co-purchasers owned EUerbeck manor in 1788 ;
they could not, however, be joint-fore?*, but only joint-fo^.vee*, the manor
being held by lease of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford.
John Bayley, who died 1722 v. p. (not s. p , though s. p. m,), should
scarcely be called Gent, though George Batchelor (his brother Richard's
father-in-law) is styled Gentleman in a deed of 1732, and barber-
chyrurgeon (his family profession) in 1720. Richard Bayley is de-
scribed as linen-draper 1748, and mercer 1754. John Batchelor his
brother-in-law is always styled Gentleman, 1745 to 1754, when he con-
veyed the reversion of his property at Easingwold to the Bayleys. The
Batchelors were a Nonconforming family, but in 1737, three years be-
fore his death, George Batchelor "bought a pew in Easingwold church ;"
so that his opinions probably changed. His daughter Elizabeth, bap-
tized at Easingwold 4 February 1711-12, married Richard Bayley,
without her father's sanction, when only 17. The Batchelors are sup-
posed to have been of much better extraction than Richard Bayley, and
were resident at Ripon and Boroughbridge previously. John Batchelor,
of Boroughbridge, is named in the Morley pedigree in the Yorkshire
Visitation 1584.
P. 558. Close Pedigree. — I am informed by Mr, Wm. Paver of
York that the links of connexion between John Close, Mayor of Rich-
mond, 1716 (who had two daughters and also a brother James Close
of Furnival's Inn), and Anthony Close of Richmond, living 1716, who
had a sister Ann, were not very near, but they appear to have had at least
each a different parentage. It will, however, be observed that, speaking
of these several families, I only say " in the time of Charles II. we find
four members of the Close family," without assigning any particular
affinity to them ; but previously showing the name to be so ancient as
1553. Indeed I know that it is still a common name in the agricultural
districts of North Yorkshire : agriculture being the probable source of
its rise from its coat armour, " Vert, a chevron argent between three
garbs or."

P. 12. Thomas Kirby might be " descended out of Yorkshire ;" but
the " county consequence " was not that of Kirby of Sledmere. He
was resident 'squire of Barmbro' Grange (since the seat of the Fawkes
family) and is styled Gentleman in his monumental inscription ; but,
according to tradition, was of very inferior origin to his wife. After
their marriage they lived a short time at Lutterworth, co. Leicester, and
while there he obtained his grant of arms : Argent, two bars gemelles
engrailed gules, with the honorary augmentation of a greyhound's head
in a canton, derived from the Kynnersley crest, viz. a greyhound sejant;
and for crest, a like greyhound's head, encircled by a chaplet of roses.
A pedigree of Kirby, with a more complete one of Marston, appears
in Burke's Supplement to the Landed Geiitry. The following points,
however, were ascertained after its communication, viz. Richard Marston
of (Willenhall in) Wolverhampton parish, co. Staff, was married 20 July
1756, at Doveridge, co. Derby, to Barbara Kirby, viz. in the presence
of Richard Fitzhex-bert and Dorothy Kirby. She (Mrs. Marston) was
buried at Willenhall 18 Oct. 1782, Their daughter Hannah, Mrs.
D'Oyly, •' was born 28 Nov. 1769, and baptized at Kinfare, co. Staff.
P. 19. Mr. D'Oyly's property would have been between 4000^. and
5000/. per annum, had it been all available ; but, from unexplainable
causes, a large portion was lost by his grandmother, Mrs. Black, in
her lifetime.
Mr. D'Oyly's descent I must leave to be settled by the family it most
concerns ; having myself experienced more than enough of the subject.
I shall here only briefly observe, that I was always and invariably taught
to consider this branch of the D'Oylys as heir presumptive, or next
branch in succession, to that already possessed of the Baronetcy D'Oyly
^ N.B. Mrs. D'Oyly was herself descended from all the principal houses of D'Oyly
through Kynnersley, viz. by Gyfford, by Courtenay, by Despencer, by Basset, from
D'Oyly Baron of Hocknortou ; by Bagot from D'Oyly of Ronton ; and by Petit,
by Wolryche, by Pershall, by Knightley, from D'Oyly of Gaoushall ; as also, through
Bagot by Astley, by Beauchamp, by Mauduit, by Newburgh, by Warren, from King

of Shottisham ; and in justice to it, and myself, add, that of all the nine
records on the subject I have ever seen, I have never yet seen one in
which any word of bastardy or illog-itimacy is applied to the late Mr.
D'Oyly ; but, as I said before, I must leave the better explanation of
the business to the family's own self, for very sufficient reasons, which I
beg to be excused detailing,
P. 20. My MS. says viansion of Sion Hill, or Kirby Lodge, not
manor. Indeed Mr. D'Oyly owned only one manor there, and that was
named the same as the parish.
Mr. D'Oyly's position in North Yorkshire was remarkable, because
he was himself his family's settler there. Several of his neighbours,
whose families had been centuries in the district, appear to have lived in
comparative obscurity. What is stated here was taken down verbatim
from the lips of, not his family, but the authority already stated in
p. 540. The variations in my history of the D'Oylys are the family's
version of the matter.

P. 41. Edmond Hodilow's usage of the arms here described must
have been in his father Thomas Hodilow's lifetime, inasmuch as he died
nine years before his father. It is a remarkable fact that soon after
this article of Hodilow was published I received a letter contradicting
(by insinuation) the existence of such an entry in Glover's Ordinary. I
find myself mistaken in calling the Ordinary " Glover's." It is not the
" Ordinary" published as Glover's, but an original MS. in Coll. Arm.
probably composed of Glover's, with his subsequent additions, but edited
by Philipot. If the arms did not precede the connexion with Cambridge,
it is probable that the cross may allude to the advancement at Cam-
bridge, or the family's general characteristic for true religion.
P. 45. Robert Griffith, Constable of Carnarvon Castle, who a Wood

mother was Janet, daughter of Sir William Stanley of Hooton,co. Chester,
by his wife Margaret, daughter of SirJohn Arderne. Thegreataud knightly
house of Griffith of Ponrhyn was a branch of the descendants of Ednyfed
ap Kendrig, the triple-headed Chief Justice and Minister of Llewellyn ap
lorwerth, King of North Wales temp. King John of England ; of whose
tribe the royal house of Tudor (who changed the "heads" into " helmets"),
and other superior families, were likewise branches. Marchudd ap
Cynan, the founder of this, the eighth, noble tribe of North Wales and
Powis, is traced in Wynne's History of Wales from Brtitus, first Kin g
of the Britons ! Robert Griffith, Constable of Carnarvon, was cousin
paternally to the celebrated John Williams, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal
and Archbishop of York (originally Rector of Grafton Underwood while
the Hodilows resided there), who was of the same tribe, both pater-
nally and maternally, entitled to the " triple-headed" coat of arms, and
the repurchaser of Penrhyn, after Pierce Griffith, the heir, was bullied
and persecuted into disposing of it, for joining Sir Walter Raleigh in
those exploits which have gained him immortal fame and glory. He
(Robert Griffith) was likewise cousin to the famous Lord Chief Justice
Glynne (whose seize quart iers show him of the said tribe in almost five
different roots) ; and also of kin to the wife of Lewis Bayly, Bishop of
Bangor, whence Bayly-Paget, Marquess of Anglesey, is descended ; 'as
well as to George Griffith, Bishop of St. Asaph, Salusbury of Llaseney,
Pennant of Bagylt, Mostyn of Mostyn, Williams of Cochwillan, Stanley
of Hooton, Philips of Picton Castle, Owen of Orielton, Bulkeley of Beau-
maris (whence the Lords Bulkeley), Brereton of Brereton, Cholmon-
deley of Cholmondelcy, Mytton of Ruddlan, Williams of Vaenol, and
an immense list of other eminent families, which it is needless to
enumerate.
Robert Griffith's mother was Janet, sister of John Wynne of Guydyr,
CO. Carnarvon, and daughter of Meredith ap Iwan, descended in direct
paternal lineage from the ancient royal family of Wales.
P. 47. I find the Heraldic Dictionaries have confused the arms of
Fyske and Fyshe of Hertfordshire, appropriating the former to the
latter. My deduction of James Fyshe from the Hertfordshire Fyshes
is built on a complication of minute facts, which I need not detail here,
beyond observing that his widow married a Constable, probably of York-
shire ; and I have other evidence, that a family of Fyshe, in South
Yorkshii-e, did bear the arms of the Fyshes of Herts, which, though
not given in either the Heraldic Dictionaries or in Burke's Extinct Irish
Baronetage (which ought to contain them), were " Or, a fesse gules, on
a bend sable five mullets of the field," as I have seen them impaled- with

the last century ; and was informed by Mr, Davy, as well as by an
authentication from the Heralds' College, that they were the proper coat
of the Hertfordshire Fyshes (in spite of the Heraldic Dictionaries).
Matches, probably all with this race of Fyshe, occur in the pedigrees of
Stillingfleet, Coningsby, Pulter, Raymond, Ferrand, &c. ; and in the
absence of positive information the conjecture may be useful, that the
family might derive its use of the name " Humphry," as well as its
match with Stillingfleet, from the Hodilows' connexion with Humphry
Henchman, Bishop of London. As it is not known that Mrs. Fyshe,
previously Hodilow, had issue, this is, however, mere conjecture.
P. 54. Richard Hodilowe's apprenticeship styles him " Richard
Hodilowe, son of Arthur Hodilowe," &c, not merely " Richard, son of

P. 59. Through Biddulph by Floyer, the Burrens were cousins of
the Kynnersleys of Loxley Park, and descended from the Cradocks of
Stafford (founded temp. Henry VI. by John, brother of Sir Miles
Cradock, one of the founders of Nantwich Church, in Cheshire), who
merged in the distinguished families of Lord Cholmondeley, the Baronet
Slingsby, and Sir Orlando Bridgeman ; and matched with the Fleetwoods
of Vache, the Fowlers of Harnage, the Jollyes of Leeke, the Need-
hams, the Mainwarings of Whitmore, the Newtons of Chaddesden, the
Cotons and Noels, &c. &c. and of which family likewise Mr. Matthew
Cradock, mentioned at page 44, was a member. Through the Cradocks
also the family was descended from the ancient family of the Meverells
of Staffordshire : Anthony Biddulph's mother being Joyce, dau. of
Richard Floyer of Uttoxeter, by Mary, dau. of Thomas Cradock, Gent,
of Stafford, by his wife Emma, dau. of Nicholas Meverell, Esq.
P. 60. The leasehold property in St. John's, Wapping, held of the
Drapers' Company, purchased, and devised to Burren, by Richard Hodi-
low, descended to the six Miss Burrens as coheiresses, and is mentioned
in Hannah Burren's will 1741. It was afterwards lost by the singular
circumstance of their neglecting *= to renew the lease while the Barrys
were young ; which was a special reason with the last survivor, Marga-
retta Burren, for making her nephew William Barne^ (Barry) her resi-
duary legatee ; he having been a personal and positive sufferer by that
default, inasmuch as a share of the said property descended to him as
heir at law of his mother.

also summoned to Parliament as a Baron in 1374 ; but through con-
tinual rebellions the honour was lost. It is remarkable that this family
(called after the Irish fashion the " Barry-oge "), was scarcely ever out
of " rebellion " from the reign of Henry III. till it forfeited its estates
temp. Charles I. Philip Barry, their last possessor, married Julian,
daughter of Sir Dominick Sarsfield, Mscount Kilmallock, Chief Justice
of the Common Pleas in Ireland, whose family was attainted 1691 ; and
his grandson Philip Barry had another wife, the Hon. Margaret de
Courcy, paternal aunt of Almerick Lord Kinsale, who was outlawed
1691. His wife, Elenor MacCarthy, the maternal aunt of that noble-
man, was descended, through Roche Viscount Fermoy, from Barry,
Viscount Buttevant, ancestor of the Earl of Barrymore ; and if Irish
pedigrees can be implicitly relied upon, through M'Carthy, from Georo-e
Duke of Clarence, brother of King Edward IV. and from Thomas
of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, fifth son of Edward III. as well as
Joan, dau. of King Edward I. through Roche. — The finishing stroke to
the rank and position of the family seems to have been the troubles of
James II. 's reign, and the downfall of the Sarsfields and de Courcy s
(their only remaining relatives of consequence) in 1691 ; for although
Almerick Lord Kinsale was afterwards I'einstated in his honours, he died
s. p. and his sister, Mrs. Ireland, was passed over to transmit his title to
a branch of his family unrelated to the Barrys. There is now the most
plausible evidence for the identity of William Barry, of Fleet Street
with William Barry, the issue of this last Philip Barry ; though Ulster
considers his mother to have been Ellen St. John, cousin to his father ."^
From William Barry's marriage with Susanna Burren downwards, and
carrying her ancestry up to the old entries of the Burren, Hodilow, and
Pycheford families, the pedigree of the Bayleys and Barnets was regu-
larly recorded in the College of Arms in 1841, upon the best proofs and
evidence, and through the instrumentality of the most able, respectable,
■' It is my private opinion, however, that there could not be so many generations
in the descent as given at page 62. I rather think that William Barry of Fleet-
street, &c., was himself son of Philip Barry by Elinor MacCarthy, and not his
grandson ; and that, breaking off his Irish ties, he settled in London trade through
the interest of his maternal connexions, where marrying in the Protestant church,
he gave his sons of that marriage the alias and Jewish surname of Barnet, adopting
also " Saint John " as a family baptismal name ; his Saint Johns being clearly of
thefamily of Oliver Saiut John, Viscount Grandison, Lord President of Munster, and
so cousins to the celebrated Lord Boliugbroke of Battersea, near London. By this
view of the pedigree, I should treat the children given at page 62 as Philip Barry's
issue by Margaret de Courcy ; and give him by Elinor MacCarthy, besides this
William, David of Lisbon and Elinor Barry, both of whom were living 1728.

P. 63. Though it is alleged (hat the second William Barry first

to what I have hinted in the last note, that not only himself, but his

both ''Burner and '■'■ Barry ^' The most correct and proper view
will be to treat it previously to his time as an alias; he being the last
who disused the name Barry in legal documents. According to records
the case stands thus : —

name of Bayley 1785 ; born 17G2.t= ^
Hence the probability, as suggested at page 62, that it was not a
mere variation of the name Barry, but assumed after the loss of the
Bai*ry dignities and estates in Ireland, as that of the next marriage in
the family. That it was a Jewish name, and that there was Jewish
blood in the family, there is no doubt.
Saint John Barry, the goldsmith of London, failed in 1789, and, from
the family correspondence at that period, it appears his nephew Doctor
Bayley was himself a loser by the bankruptcy, having lent his uncle
money only a short time before. . A copy of Doctor Bayley's letter ad-
dressed to him on the occasion, is contained in one sent by him, then
studying medicine in Edinburgh, by post to his wife at Easingwold. By
Saint John Barry's bankruptcy of course the speculations on his property
fell to the ground, and his nephew. Saint ,Iohn Barnet (Barry), who was
named after him in 1772, instead of inheriting his property and re-
suming the name of Barry, received two letters from him soon after his
father's death, probably for a very contrary purpose.
Miss Barry corresponded with her nephew Dr. Bayley and his
wife to the last, (and was, indeed, the very person who sent the first
news of Saint John Barry's bankruptcy to them,) and both Dr. Bayley
and her other nephew. Saint John Barni^^ (Barry) his brother, named
their youngest daughter after her.
ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA. 549
The Hodilow arms were used as heir general successively by Barren,
havne( (Barry), and Bayley. Anne Barren's will contains them. A
large, handsome seal of them with helmet, kc. was impressed by Dr.
Bayley on his letters in 1788, and his young-er brother Saint John Bar-
>iei (Barry), as well as his eldest son, the Rev. John Bayley, never used
any other coat-armour. In foot, the family then having- reason to be
sated with such honours, never deemed it worth while, and consequently
never applied at the College* of Arms, on taking the name of Bayley
1785, under John Bayley's will, for arms or anything else.
Another seal on Dr. Bayley's letters is tlie Barry crest of a gritfin's
or eagle's head, with the initials W. B,, which I think must have been his
grandfather's, and given to him by his aunt Susanna Barry.
The pictures bequeathed to Susanna Barry were doubtless portraits of
the Barrys, which had passed into the Burrens' possession with the chil-
dren's guardianship. Margaretta Barren calls them " her (Susanna
Barry's) own family pictures : '" — this alone suggests good extraction
e.i- parte Barry. — In the probate of INfargaretta Burren's will the
transcribing clerk had turned Hodilow into Zoodilow.
When news of Margaretta Burren's death reached Easingwold, Wil-
liam V>-dYHet (Barry) was on a journey with his first wife at Pontefract,
and hence the delay attending her funeral. — The Burrens' vault at
Hampstead, wherein she was interred, is near to Lord Delamere's, and
contains inscriptions to herself and sisters, Jane, Mary, and Anne.
P. 67. Though the Heraldic Dictionaries show that some of the
Middlesex Lumleys used the same coat as the great Northern houses of
the name, probably by assnmption, after changing their name from
I>omelin to Lumley ; yet it is evident that the Baronets Luraley were
orio-inally entitled to " Argent, a cheif vert," afterwards changed to
'• Or, a cheif gules." No doubt this .Tames Lumley belonged to the
stock in question, and was descended from James (father of the Lord
Mayor Sir Martyn Lumley, whose son was the first Baronet), which
James I/jmley was a London merchant, and died in lo92. There was,
indeed, another connection with Hodilow, the first Baronet Lumley 's first
wife being a first cousin of Mrs. Hodilow, previously Meredith. But
the pedigree is sadly imperfect ; and Hodilow's Mr. James Lumley may
have been as near the Baronetcy as was Mrs. Hodilow, previously Mere-
dith.

for, besides the grant of free warren there to John Trea'oze in 1270, it is

evident from Bavtlot's D'Oyly pedigree, that before the close of Heu.
III.'s reign Sir Henry Tregoze sold Denne to Rosa de Oyly. The
Harl. MS. 1068, fol. 88, records that John Trego?/* bore, temp. Edward
I., " D'or 2 gemels gules, a leopard passant in cheif." Whether this
were John of Sussex or the last lord of the first branch, I cannot posi-
tively determine ; but it overturns my conjecture as to the reasons for
reversing the red and gold (at page 132), should it be intended for
the last lord.
P. 133, line 9, iovford, read lord.
Pp. 134, 5, 6, I fear some obscurity exists relative to the various mar-

n. Edward Cooke, living 1694, who held two burgages in Stockton
1718, in which he was succeeded by a John Cooke prior to 1744. I
conceive he had issue, for a branch of the family continued in the male
line at Gi'eatham, co. Durham, down to 1830 ; and probably Frances
Cooke, married in 1709 to Robert Christopher, was one of his daughters.
Captain James Cooke, the celebrated mariner (son of James Cooke of
Marton, near Stockton), was probably of common oi'igin with the
Stockton Cookes, and might also be one of Edward Cooke's progeny,
though it has been alleged his family came from Scotland, The Chris-
tophers had an old crayon portrait of some member of their family,
strongly resembling in features and expression those of Captain James
Cooke.
I. Hester, living 1667.
II. Elizabeth, married to William Scurfield of Elstob, co. Durham,

James Cooke succeeded to his father's freehold and copyhold estate
at Stockton, and was Mayor of that town in 1669, 1674-5, 1685-6,
1693, 1698, 1703. He made his will 29 Dec. 1702, leaving inter alia
£100 to the almshouses at Stockton, and died 29 Aug. 1703, having
married Lucy by whom he had issue two sons and as many
daughters, viz. :

represented by LongstaiFe, were collateral branches, and a pedigree of
the whole of the South Durham race is printed in Walbran's History of
Gainford. So far as the family were connected with Stockton, the fol-
lowing additions are useful : —

to 3Irs. Rudd; by whom he had divers children, who died young, and
the three sons already named,

all, though the only two who married were those already mentioned.
They were, 1. Mary ; 2. Sarah (Mrs. J. S. Raisbeck) ; 3. Elizabeth ;
4. Frances (Mrs. Brewster). The four daughter co-heirs of Leonard
Robinson, Junr., were, 1. Elizabeth (Mrs. Wilkinson) ; 2. Anne (Mrs.

TO THE STOCKTON PEDIGREES. 555
69th. The Christophers [p, 109]. This family does not join to
the Worcestershire Christophers, as conjectured, though possibly the
whole race of the name was of common origin in that county, and this
branch planted in Durham by the Frevilles of Hardwick. Richard Chris-
topher was originally of Billingham (the adjoining parish to Norton), co-
Durham, where the name ascends to the time of Queen Elizabeth in the
parish registers, and where the family here mentioned has been traced,
link by link, back to 1587, though the intermediate generations afford
more than one means of connecting the branches, and this of a peculiar
nature. That all the Norton and Stockton Christophers, however,
descend from the above Richard is more than probable, from his
being the first who settled at Norton, whence the two subse-
quent branches both likewise removed, and finally settled, together, at
Stocktoai. Captain William Christopher's wife Anne was daughter of
Tatham of Bishopton, near Stockton (which family matched with
Raisbeck) ; and his son John-Thomas, who died net. 31, and to whose
memory there is an inscription at Norton, married Doi-othy daughter of
Crozier Surtees, Esq. of Merryshields, by Jane, daughter and co-heir
of Robert Surtees of Redworth. Esq. (great-uncle of the historian of
CO. Dui-ham), and descended from the Larabtons of Hardwick (who
were cousins to the Bayleys and D'Oylys through Freville, Milward, and
Clarke of Chilcote), and died leaving issue.
72nd. The Hutchixsons [p. 113]. This family having its own
genealogist, I must leave the perfection of its junior issues to that
gentleman (Mr. Swain of Stockton).
74th. The Greys [p. 114]. This pedigree has appeared in the
Supplement to Burke's Landed Gentry.
77th. The Smiths [p. 114]. Arm Smith succ. her aunt Dorothy
in Jan. 1847, and married the same year, Joseph Dodds of Stockton,
gent, solicitor, present tenant of 8, Paradise Row, Stockton, the resi-
dence of the late William Bayley, Esq. and formerly his clerk (nephew
of Matthew Bowser, Esq. of Thornaby Grange, in Cleveland), by whom
she has had issue a daughter — Ann Smith Dodds,
79th. The Crowes [p. 116]. George Crowe's only child by
Frances Bunting, was Elizabeth, born 1739, wife of William Dunn and
mother of Elizabeth Dunn, wife of John Weems (of an old family at
Stranton and Trindon, one of whom, Robert Weemes, Gent., occurs as
a papist of the latter parish temp. Car. I.), and by him, she dying in
childbed, 1786, had an only child, Elizabeth Weems, of whose birth her
mother died, wife of Mr. Francis R. Richmond, of Stockton, merchant,
who died about 1830, leaving issue with others, Robert Richmond, Esq.
of Stockton, solicitor, partner at present with Mr. Newby. By his
556 ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS
second wife Sytli Cooke George Crowe (who was born about 1703, and
died about 1790) had issue in all five sons : — 1. George, who died s. p. ;
2. James, who married the maternal aunt of Mr. Fi'ancis Richmond
before mentioned ; 3. Matthew Crowe, Esq. of Stockton Manor House,
of whom presentl}^ ; 4. Robert Crowe of Norton.
Matthew Crowe, Esq., of Stockton Manor House, married Mar-
garet daughter of Dr. Alexander, a Scotch Physician at Stockton, and
highly connected, by which he had issue : —
1. Margaret, 1st coheir, wife of the Rev. John Charge of Cop-
grove, CO. York ;
2. Elizabeth;
3. Mary, 3rd coheir, wife of the Rev. John Lawson of Seaton
Cai*ew, son of Mrs. Lawson who founded Seaton Church, and
brother of Andrew Lawson, Esq. of Aldbro', co. York, M.P.
4. Frances, died s. p.
82nd. The Chipchases [p. 117]. The Norton branch of Chip-
chase merged, as to its principal line, in Grej'^ (vide Burke's Landed
Gentry), That, however, formerly of Stockton and now of Cotherstone,
claims not only a gentility prior to the rise of Quakerism, but descent
from Chipchase of Chipchase Castle in co. Northumberland.
85th. The Wilsons [p. 118]. Robert Wilson who married Mary
Headlam was dead in 1775, when she died his widow IS Nov. 1775,
aet. 75. She was daughter of John Headlam of the Tile Shades, who
died cet. 85, 17 March 1748, by his wife who died 13 May 1743, aet.
73. The Headlams have an ancient and knightly origin, and have
been settled in the neighbourhood of Stockton since the fourteenth cen-
tury. They were originally, it would seem, a branch of the great Nor-
man house of Rozel or Russell, whence the Duke of Bedford also
descends ; for it appears that in 1309 Peter Russell released to his
brother Simon de Headlam all his right in Stainton, which is a York-
shire parish, but separated from that of Stockton in Durham o.ily by
the river Tees. On 2G March 1461, Sir John Headlam, Knt. of Nnn-
thorpe in Ayton (a neighbouring parish), made his will, proved at York,
24 Aug. 1461, mentioning children (but unnamed), and appointing
Nicholas Morley of Norraanby, together with Sir William Buhner of
Wilton Castle, Richard Clervaulx of Croft, John KiUinghall of Mid-
dleton St. George, John Hewyk, and Richard Lambert, his executors ;"
^ For tliis will, as well as an elaborate pedigree of the Morleys of Normanby and
Maltby in Stainton iiavish, I am indebted to Mr. William Paver of York. C'hristo-
plier Morley of Normanby, son and heir of the above marriage, married Janet
Cleasby, heiress of the rebel Asculph Cleasby's family, and made his will as of
Eston, gent, also in Cleveland, 19 Aug. 1547 (proved at York 2 March lo48), leaving
TO THE STOCKTON PEDIGREES. 557
'24 Hen. VI. (1446) Joan, daughter of John Headlani, Esq. of Stainton,
being- married to Nicholas Morley, Esq, of Normanby, in Ormesby
parish, also in Cleveland. The family eventually merged in Bowes of
Barnes; but it previously sent off junior lines, and no doubt the Craven
race, from which the archdeacon of the name is descended, was one of
these. The Tile Shades Headlams, being only two miles from Stainton
parish, would seem to belong to the original stock of the name.
Of the issue of their match with Wilson, was also Jane, wife of John
Raw, both of whom died in 1780 ; he aged 54, she 55.
Captain William Wilson's eldest daughter, Mrs. Wright, is named
Annie. He had also (by his second wife) a seventh son, Henry, of
Hutton Rudby, surgeon.
The iMr. Launce, who came to Stockton, and lived during the last
century in the mansion successively Raisbeck's and Tennant's, was of
the family of Darcy Launce, Esq. of Penair, co. Cornwall, whose pedi-
gi'ee was recorded in the Visitation of Cornwall, anno 1619. The
family possess a good oil portrait of one Rebecca LauncC;, aunt of Mrs,
Wilson.
Robert Wilson of Stockton, draper, died 10 June 1842.
To the families here enumerated it would be easy to make additions,
but I should not know where to stop. I shall scarcely be excused, how-
ever, for omitting
90th. The Skinners.
William Skinner, Esq. of Stockton, Mayor 1820, was a banker
and J. P. He married Miss Holt of Whitby, and had issue,
I. William Skinner, Esq. J. P. &c. who married first Anne, daughter
of Richard Walker, Esq. of Stockton, by whom he had an only child
Anne. He married secondly Miss Mary Walker, sister of his second
wife, and had further issue.
II. George Skinner, manufacturer, who married Miss Hannah Walker,
sister of his brother's wives, and had a large family.
a son and heir, Robert, who married twice, and had two sous, both of whom mar-
ried Thornabys of Thoruaby in Stainton, and three daughters, of whom Elizabeth
married John Batchelor of Borobridge. Her brother of the whole blood, Cuthbert
Morley of Normanby, recorded their pedigree at the Yorkshire Visitation 1584 ; to
which their half-brother added his achievement (his mother being the heir general of
Mallby of Maltby, in Stainton) ; but although the Cleasbys' arms were inserted,
the Cleasbys' rebellion caused the Heralds to omit all mention of their name, and
the pedigree leaves that alliance a blank.
The Headlams' connexion with Killinghall and Clervaulx was through the
marriage (given in the Clervaulx pedigree) of John Headlam with Agnes, sister
of Sir John Clervaulx, who died 1443, granddau. of Sir John Clervaulx of Croft,
by Beatrice, dau. of Sir John Mauleverer,

pant of the house previously occupied by Christopher, Nesham, and
Skelly), by whom she has issue.
VII. A daughter, who died unmarried.
91st. The Walkers. There were several families of this name.
The above mentioned was virtually founded by James Walker, Esq.
Mayor 1809-11, who accumulated a considerable fortune in the flax
trade, but died unm. His brother
Richard Walker, Esq. married Miss Eden, and had five daughters,
three of whom married into the Skinner family as above, as also an elder
one, likewise married, and a younger one, Frances, unm. ; also three
sons —
I. Thomas Walker, Esq. of Stockton, man-ied, but s. p.
II. Richard Walkei-, who married Mary, daughter of William Skinner,
Esq. and has issue, with junior offspring, Richard Walker.
III. Eden Walker, who died unm.
92nd. The Darnells. A branch of this Durham family occurs at
Billingham, and some of the name wei'e brewers there. One matched
with Wood, whence it became related to Christopher ; another was pro-
genitor of Mr. Darnell of Harewood Hill, near Darlington. This branch
matched with Grey of Norton.
Mr. Darnell, the vicar, is not known to have been of this branch. He
married the daughter of the Rev. William Bowes of Scorton, co. York,
by whom he had five sons. On his preferment to the wealthy living of
Stanhope, co. Durham, and his becoming a prebendary of Durham
Cathedral, about 1820, he was succeeded by Mr. Cundill.
93rd. The Tennants.
Mr. Tennant of Yarm, surgeon, married the niece of Colonel Allison
of Stockton, whereby eventually all that property and mansion at the
north end of the town came to the Tennant family. Of this marriage
there were three sons and a daughter, all of whom were left fatherless
minors early in life, their father dying very suddenly. The sons were
I. Chrlstopher Tennant, the celebrated engineer and mechanical
genius. He is famous for having been the originator of railways as
applied to their present purposes ; the Stockton and Darlington line being
the first Railway constructed in the kingdom. Railways had long been
used for conveying coal from the mouth of the pits ; but his genius first
suggested the idea of their application to travelling, and those other uses

to which they are now applied. To him also the ancient town of Hartle-
pool owes its restoration. He lived first at Stockton, afterwards at
Hartlepool, and died about 1839, very suddenly, unmarried.
II. Thomas Allison Tennant of Stockton, manufacturer, who
succeeded to the Allisons' property, and there resided till his death. He
man-ied the daughter of John, and niece of James Langley, Esq. of
Grove House, near Greatham, co. Durham, by whom he, dying about
1840^ left issue.
III. John Tennant, dead.
94th. The Beckwiths, probably a branch of the great Yorkshire
house of Handall, &c.
John Beckwith of Stockton, 1760, died a^t. 73 Dec. 1786, having
had by Mary, his wife, who died 4 April 1798, set. 82, with others who
died young, a daughter Mary, who died get. 28, 22 Dec. 1788, and
three sons —
William of Stockton, who had issue male and female, of whom his
married daughter was wife of Mr. Towse, Clerk of the Company of
Fishmongers, London.
Thomas, who had issue Henry and others.
Henry of Stockton, who married Anne and by her, who died,
aet. 49, 3 March 1812, had issue
1 . John, who married, and had issue, a son and a daughter, wife of
— Foster.
2. Henry, formerly in trade at Stockton, but now of Stainton
Grange, Esq. He married the sister of Dr. Co wen of Sunderland,
and has a son in holy orders, as also daughters :
1. Jane, died 1811, aet. 13.
2. Elizabeth died young.
3. Sarah died young.
4. Anne, wife of — Cowen.
5. Isabella died unm.
6. Margaret died unm.
7. Mary died imm.
In conclusion, I must observe that my motive in making these collec-
tions has been merely to do for the town of Stockton what Sir Cuthbert
Sharpe had done for Hartlepool ; Mr. Brewster having not only sedu-
lously excluded genealogical matter from his work unless incidentally or
inevitably led into it, but having in one place expressed a degree of ridi-
cule and contempt for Surtees' passion in that important department of
archaeology.

of Collectanea Topog. et Geneal.
In the Pedigree recorded in the College of Arms, John Gyll of Wydial
Hall, who died 1546, is entered as son of William Gyll, and grandson of
John Gyll, who died 1499, which is correct. In Collectanea he is affi-
liated to Richard Gyll, who died 1535. Descendants of the latter, who
had six children, are found in John Gyll of Kerapstone, Beds, buried
there 27 April, 1572, and will proved 21 July following. He left a
son John, whose daughter Christian married, 1608, Kev. Abdias Tuer,
Rector of Sawbridgeworth, Herts, buried there 24 July, 1626, from whom
William Cole -the antiquary descended.
Collectanea Topog. et Geneal., vol. viii., page 278. — Between Richard
Gyll of Easton, Hunts, and John of Sudborough, Northamptonshire, a de-
scent is omitted, viz. John, under age in 1547, who was father of John of
Sudborough. This latter bought property there fine 35 Eliz. Mich, and
repaired to Higham Ferrers, and was elected alderman of the town and
corporation, and was interred there as Jhon Gill, alderman, 10 Sept. 1616.
He left a will proved^' 2d October following at Northampton : cites his
daughter Elizabeth, wife of Wm. Bridgell ; Hester, afterwards married
■ Hastings ; Ann, and Sarah. His son Philip, M.D. in London,
bought lands in and resided at Edmonton, and left a son Thomas, also
a very celebrated M.D., buried there 1714, leaving by Martha, daughter
of , buried there 14th Oct. 1702, an only son Thomas, who died
1719, s.p. (See Letter of Dr. Thomas Gyll, appended to Life of

be composed by Charles I. in the 'Et/cwi' VtaaiXiK)], in a Letter addressed
to Hon. Charles Hatton, dated 1 May, 1694.)
Richard Gyll of Swaffham, Camb. married Agnes, widow of Edmund
Lee, of the same place, which manor he sold Hilary 28 Hen. VIII. to
Robert Spring of Suffolk, and he to Francis Hynde of Madingley, Cam-
bridge ; and he, 1 May, 1556, to Richard Gyll, who resold it, Easter,
1557, to his brother George, who by will left it to his son of the same
names by his second wife Anne, daughter of Robert Wethill of Calais, who
probably lost much of his property there on the recovery of Calais by
the. French, 1558. This George Gyll sold it to Thomas Cooke of
Chissull, Essex, 10 June, 1573. It now belongs to the AUix family.
